I would also second the No Pest Strips if your room isn't huge. Mine is like 10x5 , and I haven't seen a single bug yet. They also last for a couple months. I also used those sticky things, but my room is kinda small so I kept getting it stuck on me (gross) and I said forget it. I use them in the rest of my basement and they work great though. BUT the No Pest Strips also help defend against crawling bugs, so I would recommend them.
