Bed Bug Mattress Cover
That Zips tight – Protects You and Your Mattress Investment
When treating for Bed Bugs, using a Bed Bug Mattress Cover that zips, completely encasing and sealing the mattress, is critical to your success of killing bed bugs in your home. Because bed bugs multiply so quickly, you can kill bed bugs today and within a week have a full blown bed bug infestation again if you just missed one bed bug in your mattress.
Using a Bed Bug Mattress Cover that zips and encasing the mattress will do two things for you; it will seal any bed bugs you may have missed inside the Bed Bug Mattress Cover which will then ultimately die, second, it will keep the bed bugs inside the bed bug mattress cover from biting you through the Bed Bug Mattress Cover. We recommend using a full bed bug mattress cover protocol when treating your mattress; it is listed below. This bed bug treatment protocol includes the Bed Bug Mattress Cover that zips in it.
Read a comprehensive bed bug mattress cover report using over laping Zip Lock technology with proven effectiveness of the Dead Bed Bug Mattress Cover.
The Entomologist’s Conclusions:
“The above test concluded that when used according to manufacturers directions, SecureSleep™ encasements effectively seal in bed bugs and prevent them from escaping. Further, SecureSleep™ encasements effectively prevent sealed bed bugs from feeding through.” - Entomologist, Timothy J. Gibb Ph.D.
When using a Bed Bug Mattress Cover that zips, completely encasing the mattress, any
eggs and bed bugs trapped in the encasement will eventually die and Bed Bug Mattress Covers provide very few places for the bed bugs to hide.
You have two choices when looking at Bed Bug Mattress Covers that zip; a Bed Bug Mattress Cover or a clothe Bed Bug Mattress Cover. Both work the same; however you do have some perks with the vinyl Bed Bug Mattress Cover such as it is usually cheaper, they are easier to wash and clean, they don’t stain, they last just as long as the clothe bed bug mattress covers if you get the good ones, but they are hotter to sleep on if you sleep directly on it.
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.
Have the Bed Bug Mattress Cover
In a nut shell, the benefit of having a Bed Bug Mattress Cover that zips is that it protects the key harborage areas for bed bugs and so would your mattress investment.
Bed Bug Mattress Protocol:
• Vacuum the infested bed bug mattress as mentioned above
• Steam the infested bed bug mattress with a hand held steam to kill the bed bugs AND to remove the bed bug stains from the mattress
• Spray your infested bed bug mattress with a non toxic bed bug spray such as DeadBedBug brand of bed bug spray.
• Apply diatomaceous earth all over the infested bed bug 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 that zips on all 3 sides; not a mattress cover that only fits on the top of the mattress or boxspring. 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.
