Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a composition comprising (E)-2-octenal and nonanal as well as its use in attracting bed bugs, particularly Cimex lectularius. In one embodiment the composition is part of a device for attracting bed bugs with a bed bug pathogen. The composition may be used in the detection, monitoring and control of bed bugs, including the trapping and elimination of them. Claimed in another embodiment is a composition comprising a compound selected from the group comprising: L-valine, L-glycine, L-histidine, histamine, dimethyl aminoethanol, 3-hydroxykynurenine-O-sulphate and a steroid. In another claimed embodiment is the use of a compound selected from the group consisting of (E)-2-nonenal, hexenal, heptanal, (RS)-1-octen-3-ol, 3-carene, β-phellandrene, (3E, 5E)-octadien-2-one, 2-decanone, dodecane, nonanoic acid, 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate, (E)-2-undecenal and (S)-(-)-germacrene D for attracting bed bugs.
