What Is A Bed Bug Mattress Encasement?
Bed bug mattress encasements are a tool that can help stop the spread of bed bugs. They’re like fitted sheets that cover the entire box spring and they are made of very tightly woven fabric that bed bugs cannot crawl through (hence their name “encasement”). In fact, if you were to put a flashlight behind one of these encasements, you would see dozens or hundreds of trapped and dead bed bugs inside.
This specific encasement has four layers:
- One layer is sewn into the seams to prevent tears from opening up during washing or moving;
- Two layers are stitched together at certain points to create zippers for access points;
- The fourth layer is made from very tightly-woven material with tiny holes in it so air can get through while also trapping any insects inside.
How Long Do I Leave The Encasement On My Box Spring?
The length of time you will leave the encasement on your box spring depends on how often you sleep in the bed. If you only use it for sleeping and do not get into it during the day, then one or two weeks is all that is needed to kill off any live bugs. However, if you are using this as a permanent encasement, it should be left on until all signs of bed bugs are gone. Some people prefer to leave their encasements on forever because they worry that if they remove them and something happens within a short period of time, they’ll have to put them back on again!
The best thing about these encasements is that no matter how long you keep them up in your home or business space – even years later – they won’t break down at all like some other materials might over time due to their unique construction methods used by manufacturers such as Protect-A-Bed UK Ltd., who make these products specifically with longevity in mind so that customers like yourself can save money while still getting great value out of each purchase made today!
Does The Box Spring Need To Be Sealed Too?
Yes, the box spring should be encased too. Box springs are typically double sided and have a zipper on the bottom so that they can be taken apart to change sheets or wash them. The bed bug protection treatment you use should go all over your mattress, box spring and headboard as well. It’s important to seal the encasements together with a zip tie so that no bugs can escape between them when you’re sleeping at night.
Another way to help protect yourself against bed bugs is by using a spray-on repellent that contains permethrin or pyrethrum (two natural insecticides). This will help keep any wandering insects off of these surfaces so they don’t get inside your home in the first place!
Make Sure You Wash Everything Thoroughly!
Once you’ve taken care of your bedding and other fabrics, it’s time to take on the rest of your home. Wash all clothing, curtains and other soft items in hot water. If possible, use a commercial dry cleaner on anything that cannot be washed at home.
Wash shoes with soap and water or soak them in diluted bleach solution for at least 30 minutes before drying them out completely. Vacuum furniture thoroughly (including crevices) and steam clean where possible.
Finally, bathe any pets that have been exposed to bed bugs — ideally with soap-based shampoo as this will kill most insects — then treat their bedding as well as any spots they like lying on around the house (such as couches).
Using a box spring encasement is just one part of the process in treating your home for bed bugs.
While encasements are a useful tool in the fight against bed bugs, they are not a cure-all. Many people who use these devices get frustrated when they find that their bloodsucking pests still manage to infest the mattress and box spring underneath. That’s because simply using an encasement without doing anything else won’t get rid of your bed bug problem. You’ll need to combine it with other measures like vacuuming and steam cleaning (or even heating) to be effective.
To make sure you’re getting rid of all your bed bugs, start by using a spray designed for killing them in cracks and crevices around your bedroom. Then take some time to clean up any clutter in the room—bed bugs love hiding out under piles like this! Finally, since it’s impossible to keep heat away from your box spring while you sleep at night (and they thrive on warm objects), it may help if you put some sort of barrier between yourself and the mattress so there isn’t any direct contact between them during hot summer nights or cold winter ones (when heating systems run full blast). Remember: even though most people don’t realize how important encasing is until after they’ve already encountered an infestation situation themselves firsthand—it doesn’t matter how much money goes into buying expensive treatment methods if none of them work!
