As a bed bug exterminator, I often meet people that have one of the following thoughts: “I have bed bugs!” or “I don’t have bed bugs.” This can be daunting for people that think they might have bed bugs, as they’re often left with few fixes on how to prevent them — particularly in apartments. Luckily for you there’s a new product by name of the Bed Bug Detector Kit. And lucky for me this is good marketing! While it is true that not all the bugs in your house are harmful, there are certainly some you want to avoid. The first and foremost on that list are bed bugs. These small creatures can cause a variety of problems for you and your family if not properly taken care of. Bed bugs seem to be a growing problem, as people travel more often than ever before. It’s this traveling that helps spread bed bugs around the world.

Bed Bug Detector Kit

Orkin’s bed bug prevention kit helps prevent bed bugs from spreading throughout the home.

The Orkin Bed Bug Prevention Kit helps prevent bed bugs from spreading throughout the home. The kit includes:

• A mattress encasement to seal in dust and droppings that can harbor bed bugs, keeping them from entering through mattress seams. Keeping your family safe from bed bug bites is important for those with allergies and asthma, as well as those who are sensitive to bites and welts caused by the pests. If a kit isn’t enough for you, we do offer mattress covers for added protection!
• A box spring cover that prevents any possible infestations on your box spring from spreading throughout your home. Box springs often go overlooked when dealing with bed bug extermination because they’re only one component of a larger problem that needs addressing—but if you have an infestation on your hands, it’s best to be proactive so they don’t spread their way past the box spring into other areas of the house!
• A pillowcase protector made of soft microfiber fabric which prevents any possible hitchhikers hiding inside pillows (and yes—those hitchhikers can even be other insects like ticks!)

The kit includes a mattress encasement, box spring encasement and pillow protectors.

The kit includes a mattress encasement, box spring encasement and pillow protectors. The mattress covers are made from vinyl with triple-sealed seams to prevent bed bugs from entering or escaping. They are very durable, so you can rest assured knowing that they won’t tear easily or let bedbugs through.

The box spring encasement is also made from vinyl but has an additional layer of mesh cloth to allow for ventilation in the mattress area of your bed. This will help prevent mold growth on your expensive new mattress set (if you haven’t already had it for years).

The pillow protectors are made from polyester fabric that is machine washable and easy to clean when they begin to get dirty over time due to frequent use or washing by hand after each use (they’re hypoallergenic too).

The encasements are washable.

The encasements are washable.

• Remove the bedding from your mattress and box spring and wash in hot water (at least 130°F) and dryer on highest heat setting for 20 minutes or more.
• Repeat this process at least every 6 months, but do so after each treatment and after each home stay to prevent reinfestation of bed bugs.

It’s important to prevent the spread of any pests or vermin in the home.

It’s important to prevent the spread of any pests or vermin in the home. Bed bugs are notorious for spreading quickly, and they can be difficult to eradicate. If not treated properly, they can cause a serious health hazard. Furthermore, if you’ve had bed bug infestations in the past it’s likely that some of them will still be present after you’re finished treating your home; these remaining bugs can then potentially lay more eggs and start another infestation once more.

Bed bugs are very small (about ¼ inch long) insects that feed on blood from humans or other animals by piercing their skin with an elongated beak-like mouth part called a proboscis (say: proh-BOSS-iss). They do this while people sleep at night when it’s difficult to detect them because they hide in cracks around mattress seams and headboards or under loose wallpaper or baseboard moldings close to where people sleep so they don’t get noticed until morning light shines into these places revealing dark brown spots on sheets where blood has been sucked out through tiny pinpricks left behind by bites over time during sleep hours between midnight and 6aam when most people wake up feeling tired due to lack of restorative deep REM sleep cycles interrupted repeatedly throughout those hours instead of uninterrupted slumber like normal healthy adults experience who aren’t getting bitten by bedbugs every night for months before discovering their invisible presence – which could lead someone else unaware about what might happen if bedbugs were present here too eventually being bitten again themselves…
