Treating bed bug infested in a mattress can be a difficult and arduous task. Pest control companies regularly recommend getting rid of the entire mattress rather than treating it. In some serious instances this is the preferred method to treat a bed bug infestation in a mattress. Salvageable mattresses and box springs that are infected should be thoroughly inspected, thoroughly vacuumed, steamed with a good and effective steamer device, and treated with a natural and safe bed bug spray before putting on the certified bed bug mattress cover. A bed bug mattress cover can be effective in two ways. It can be used to save an infested mattress from being discarded or protect a new mattress from infestation.

To save a bed bug infected mattress from being discarded, the bed bug mattress cover can be used to trap bed bugs within an infested mattress, once the above process has been achieved. Once the cover is installed and properly zipped shut, and sealed, any bed bug infected in the mattress will be permanently encased inside the cover and you will never have to worry again about them getting out. Bed bug certified mattress covers built for this purpose.

Bed bug mattress covers are a must for newly purchased beds and box springs, and make it much easier to see and kill any bugs on the outside of the mattress cover, making identification and treatment a much easier job. Mattress encasements will not stop bed bugs from crawling on you at night or prevent them in the future. However it will ensure that if you have a problem, you will not have to throw away your mattress or box springs.

Certified bed bug mattress covers are much like the mattress covers used by dust mite any allergy suffers, with one big difference. They actually seal out bed bugs and are certified to do so. They also have seams that are very tightly woven together than do not allow “bed bug harborage” areas to be present. Bed bug harborage areas are VERY prominent in all mattresses without using a certified bed bug mattress cover. You can get more information about bed bugs at www.bed-bug.net.
