In recent years, bed bug issues have continued to plague us and dominate headlines, especially in urban areas. However, bed bugs are not just exclusive to big cities; any home or business can become infested with them. This is why many people take precautions by checking for bed bugs. Ivytress understands the gravity of this issue and has developed an innovative solution: the Ivytress Zippered Structured Mattress Encasement.
Understanding Bed Bugs
Bed bugs feed on animal and human blood. Attracted to the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and pets, bed bugs gravitate toward sleeping areas, making it easy for them to feed throughout the night. Bed bugs can live for up to a year if conditions are right. In just nine months, a single bed bug can multiply to over 37,000 bed bugs. This is why addressing a bed bug issue as soon as it is detected is crucial.
Why Not Just Throw Out the Mattress?
Throwing out a bed bug-infested mattress might seem like a solution, but it's not always feasible or effective. Bed bugs can infest mattress pads, box springs, bed frames, headboards, drawers, window coverings, pet bedding, and any small spaces around sleeping areas. Tossing the mattress does not solve the problem and can be costly. In severe infestations, bed bugs may move beyond sleeping areas to living rooms and even kitchens.
The Role of Bed Bug Mattress Covers
There are various treatment options for getting rid of bed bugs, such as safe insecticides, K9 detection, thermal, and Cryonite treatments. However, a quality bed bug mattress cover is an essential component of an effective treatment plan. Bed bug mattress covers do more than just protect people from bed bug bites; they are crucial for containing and eliminating bed bugs.
How Ivytress Mattress Encasements Help
Using insecticides directly on a mattress is not recommended due to the risk of chemical exposure to people and pets. Instead, encasing the mattress in a high-quality bed bug mattress cover like the Ivytress Zippered Structured Mattress Encasement is key. By encasing the mattress, you are containing the majority of the bed bug infestation. This means that:
- Bed bugs cannot crawl out and spread the infestation.
- No bed bugs can crawl in, feed, and multiply.
- Bed bugs are cut off from feeding, preventing them from thriving and reproducing.
Encasing the box spring and pillows further enhances your efforts. Ivytress encasements are designed to stay sealed for at least one year, ensuring that bed bugs inside eventually die off.
