Bed bug mattress covers are encasements made of cloth, designed to trap bed bugs and prevent more from reaching the mattress. Bed bugs that are trapped succumb to starvation within 6 months to a year’s time. Since bed bugs are so hard to eliminate, this is a great way to get rid of some bugs with barely any effort. Moreover, protecting the mattress saves it from additional stains and damage. Bed bug mattress covers are excellent tools for getting rid of bed bugs and keeping mattresses safe. Whether you have bed bugs or not, you might want to consider adding one to your bed.
Bed bug mattresses are unfortunately not enough to get rid of bed bugs entirely. It takes a combination of things. First, hire an exterminator and he or she will treat the affected area with insecticide. For a better a more effective treatment, ask them to steam clean your mattress, too. Steam is hot enough to destroy bed bug eggs, so they don’t hatch later. Cover your mattress following treatment, then wash all your clothing in hot water and dry them at the hottest setting. Keep all your clean clothing in sealed plastic bags until you are sure that the bugs are gone.
Why hire a bed bug exterminator?
Bed bugs are incredibly tough. They have hard exoskeletons that let them hide in mattresses, under the weight of their human victims. Their flat little bodies also make it easy for them to hide, so you may have trouble finding every bug yourself. What’s worse is that bed bugs are always developing resistances to insecticides, which renders many store-bought products obsolete. It takes powerful insecticides and steam treatments from a licensed exterminator to work. Though it costs a little money, hiring a professional is the most reliable way to get rid of bed bugs.
