RECENT INNOVATIONS: Within a bed bug integrated pest management (IPM) strategy, mattress and box spring encasements help preserve bedding after treatment, limit the spread of bed bugs, reduce the costs of subsequent treatments, and offer bite-proof protection. These measures are crucial for effectively managing existing infestations and preventing further problems.
Mattress Safe’s line of mattress and box spring encasements is certified to protect against bed bugs during a treatment program by providing immediate protection for your customers. Mattress Safe’s patented “Zipper with the Hook,” with a sewn-in loop and zip tie, ensures tamperproof encasements, while the luxurious fabric is soft to the touch and offers a bite-proof and waterproof barrier.
Because PMPs are on the front lines of public health, providing mattress encasements also gives an extra defense against viruses and bacteria, offering a higher level of protection and hygiene. Mattress Safe Ultimate Mattress Encasements have passed the Viral Penetration Test (ASTM 1671) and the Bacterial Resistance Test (ASTM G22).
Recently, Mattress Safe has relaunched an additional layer of protection to aid in the hygienic process without compromising a bed bug treatment program: The Simplistic Protector allows customers to remove this layer in the event the protector becomes soiled, keeping the encasement intact for the duration of the time required for treatments.
PREDICTIONS: Bed bugs are expected to remain a persistent and growing challenge across the United States through 2026, particularly in high-travel regions, dense urban housing markets and warmer Southern states. We anticipate steady increases in cases and more complex eradication efforts, leading to greater reliance on IPM strategies as the industry continues adapting to increasing insecticide resistance.
