I don't currently have bedbugs, but want protection just in case. Are these good at preventing infestations?

If bedbugs come in on rugs this would help keep them at bay. However, it is delaying not preventing. Most come in on suitcases on the bed from some infested area and they migrate to bedding and from there to walls. Once this happens only heating the room to 130+ fora day or so will kill them.

This a cheap way to help prevent infestation, and they look good almost like a furniture pad used to help slide items.

No. The purpose of these is to keep them from getting in your bed from the floor - provided you have a trap under each leg of the bed, under each support for the bed, and your bed is pulled out away from the wall. You can also use one of the traps to check your home for bed bugs. Set it in a room at night with dry ice in the middle. The dry ice will attract bed bugs and when they climb in they will be trapped in the valley.

I had purchased Pronto Brand Products and they were effective. However; I had purchased mattress encasing to combat the bedbugs issues I had and thus far - no problem with infestation.

The zippered pillow protector will protect the pillow from bed bugs entering it & infesting it. A regular pillow case by itself will not. I do put a regular pillow case over my zippered pillow protector so that I can change & wash it (otherwise oils from your hair & face will dirty it after while.) I also have a zippered anti-bed bug mattress protector (I put a big piece of clear tape at the top of the zipper, just in case) & climb up interceptors for my bed posts. The bugs cannot get in & will be easier to catch & kill if you see them hanging out underneath or on the bed. I do not have a box spring but if I did I would encase it like my mattress. I got a metal bed frame. I got lots of tips from Jeff White at bedbuger.com. Good luck to you. Bed bugs can cause a lot of anxiety but you can get rid of them.

Yes. Get detergent for bed bugs as well and wash all the sheets and blankets with it. Then you should be good to go.

I used these in conjunction with a professional service. I moved, too. Put most of my stuff in my parents garage, sealed it off as best I could , and used a bunch of these as directed for the size of the area. It's been a year so I think I'm in the clear now. But, man, bed bugs suck!!!!!

I use this product to protect from allergens which it does. Bed bugs were not a concern when I purchased it and does not state it in the packaging.

Yes, they do really work and collect bedbugs BUT they crack so easy!! I had mine for a little over a week and I found one was already cracked. i hear they don't crack as easy if you don't have carpet.. Good luck!!

This pillow comes with a cover. I have had no problem with bed bugs and this pillow. But the cover would help me to know the pillow itself is covered and protected.

No. If you have bed bugs in your bed they were brought in on clothing or transported into the home somehow. If this is the case, your home needs to be sprayed immediately. Just for a reference: http://www.m.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/bedbugs-infestation

No, They do not have bug repellent in them. Application rates for sunscreen and bug repellant would be different.

Are you asking about a mattress protector in case there are accidents? If so I'd like an answer as well...

As far as the bed bugs go use a dryer sheet (or several) between the box spring and mattress. They work like a charm. Hope this helps

This will help you eliminate bed bugs without throwing out your mattress. If you have bedbugs, it will trap them in your bed, and they will no longer spread from there. You would still have to clean your sheets and the rest of the bedroom to get rid of the bugs. I would leave this cover on for at least a year, according to research online, because adult bed bugs can live that long without feeding. I also recommend the corresponding pillow encasement. I use both because of allergies, but it's nice to know that when I get back from travel, I have a lower risk of harboring bed bugs in my bed.

These protect well - you should not need to change the sheets. Just switch to a fresh pad.

Yes other reviewers are correct, there are small holes in this bag. I can't give an exact answer as I'm not a medical professional but I would think it should give some protection. Bed bugs have to be brought in from an outside source so if you are storing a mattress and don't already have bed bugs you should be safe. If you do currently have bed bugs I would not trust this bag and I would consult an exterminator who knows what they're doing.

I do not have a problem with bed bugs plus my bed is latex/soy which helps too. I use it to keep fluids off the mattress for warranty purposes only. Whenever I travel I keep my luggage off the floor and away from the bed. I also check the bed too in the hotel room. I keep laundry lint sheets inside my luggage. (not sure if using these sheets will help in keeping them away)

If the pest flies or crawls, these sheets should be effective. I use sheets lying flat in my windowsill for Box Elder bugs. And attached to a metal stake to trap all sorts of flying insects when I move plants indoors in the fall - a simple pesticide free solution.
