Bed bugs are becoming a nationwide problem. They seem to be popping up everywhere, even in clothing store dressing rooms! So you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be unwanted roommates in hundreds of college dormitories this year. Some students will even be bringing the evil insects to school with them, due to as-yet-undetected bed bug infestations at home. So how can you ensure that your son or daughter won’t be plagued by “bed bug rash?” Make sure they head off to school with the Student Bedding Protection Kit
This kit includes both a bed bugs cover for the mattress and the pillow, and these high-quality covers seal the bed bugs and their eggs within the cover. This allows your college student to use the mattress provided at school, and still avoid bringing home unwanted bed bugs at winter break! Bear in mind that if there are bed bugs in other parts of the room (carpets and cracks in walls are two more favorite bed bug hiding places), these bed bugs covers will not do the entire job. You will want to be sure to arm them with one or more types of bed bug repellent. This will allow them to kill off any insects not trapped within the covers. In fact, if you or they have any reason to suspect bed bugs (for example, they see leftover exoskeletons on the mattress or rust-colored streaks on the bedding), it would be a great idea to spray down the whole room before moving in any of their belongings.
Just because you see no sign of infestation, though, don’t assume that no protection is needed. Bed bugs covers are a great choice because they do double duty. They can not only prevent the spread of an infestation from beds that already have bed bug; they can also prevent an infestation if your student is starting out with a clean mattress, but their roommate (or even someone who lives down the hall…these bugs can travel!) bring bed bugs into the dorm. Encasing your college kid’s mattress and box spring from the very beginning of the semester will prevent bed bugs from penetrating them and limit any potential places of infestation. Not only will this deter infestation, but it makes for quick and easy inspection for infestations.
What if your child is not yet college age, but still needs protection the protection from bed bugs that covers can provide? No problem! Protect-A-Bed bed bugs covers come in a wide range of sizes from crib
Protect-A-Bed Bed Bug Mattress Covers are the pest control and hotel industry’s choice for protecting mattresses against bed bugs, allergens, dust mites, dirt and liquids. These high-quality mattress protectors have been certified by an entomology laboratory to be 100% bed bug proof. Don’t assume that just because another mattress cover says it’s waterproof that it is also bed bug proof. Make sure you purchase a true bed bug proof cover to ensure that you are not just wasting your money! Of course, because these covers are so sturdy, they are also effective allergen barriers, and prevent any liquid damage from spills your son or daughter might cause during those late-night study sessions. So in reality, these bed bugs covers do far more than double duty…they can even prevent the expense of mattress damage charges at the end of the semester!
