Bed Bug Cover
Means You Don’t Have To Throw Away Your Mattress
If you have detected that you have bed bugs, one of the first things you should seriously consider is a Bed Bug Cover that zips shut as a mattress encasement. Most Bed Bug Covers are like fitted sheets; although they are much cheaper, those type of Bed Bug Covers are useless for keeping bed bugs off your mattress.
These Bed Bug Covers are different in that they actually seal your mattress instead of just covering it and they are specifically designed to keep bed bugs in or out of your mattress. The ones that still live in the mattress will eventually die.
You basically have two choices when you are picking a Bed Bug Cover that includes a zipper. Your choices are vinyl or fabric; they both have their pros and cons. We recommend a specially designed bed bug cover that has been tested to be safe and specifically made for a bed bug infestation.
I would also recommend not purchasing a Bed Bug Cover that has been treated with an insecticide; this can be dangerous to your health and your children.
Remember that you will also need a zippered Bed Bug Cover for your box spring too. Bed Bugs will also hide in your box spring and continue to re-infest your bed; therefore any bed bugs you seal up in the zippered Bed Bug Cover for your box spring will keep those bed bugs at bay and they will not be able to bite through the cover or escape. This means you don’t have to throw your bed bug infested mattress without throwing it away.
Bed Bugs can live from 6 months to 18 months without a meal; therefore they can live in your mattress for a long time. We recommend using a Bed Bug Cover to seal any bed bugs you can in the mattress after you have followed our mattress cleaning and bed bug removal protocol listed below.
Any bed bugs remaining in the Bed Bug Cover will ultimately die quicker because our bed bug protocol recommends applying diatomaceous earth on the mattress after it has been cleaned, sanitized and vacuumed.
Even if your mattress has been soiled by the bed bug feces, dropping, secretions, etc, you can still clean it and remove all the bed bugs from your mattress. You don’t have to throw your mattress away! Let me show you how.
Bed Bug Mattress Protocol:
• Vacuum the mattress as mentioned above
• Steam the mattress with a hand held steam to kill the bed bugs AND to remove the bed bug stains from the mattress
• Spray your mattress with a non toxic bed bug spray such as DeadBedBug brand of bed bug spray.
• Apply diatomaceous earth all over the mattress to prevent bed bugs from coming back and as a precaution in the event you missed one in a seam or in the mattress itself.
• Now place the mattress in a NEW mattress encasement; not a mattress cover. You will want your mattress totally encased and closed up with a zipper. Using a bed bug mattress encasement specifically made for bed bugs is your best bet.
