Bed Bugs Info: If you suspect you have bed bugs, the first thing you should do is encase all your mattresses and box springs. However, encasements will rarely completely get rid of bed bugs. If bed bugs are in your bed then they are most definitely elsewhere in the room like walls, furniture and closets. If an infestation has gone undetected for a few weeks or more, than it is very likely that the bed bugs have spread to any adjacent rooms where other people may be sleeping. This is how they spread so easily in apartment buildings, hotels and hospitals.

With the Protect-A-Bed encasements above, you do not need to throw out an infested mattress or box spring. Once zipped up, any bed bugs inside will die of starvation after 12 to 18 months and no new bed bugs can get in. If you decide to throw away your mattress anyway, we recommend using the Protect-A-Bed Mattress Disposal Bags so you don't spread bed bugs through your home or building. Then, you should definitely buy encasements for your new bedding to protect your investment.
