Do the pillow encasement help with bed bugs????

They are supposed to, but since I don't have them, I can't tell you if it does or not.

They seem to be working in our household. As far as I can tell, they securely encapsulate the pillow.

Yes, they do. They completely encase the pillow, preventing ANYTHING from getting in. I have purchased the box spring, mattress and pillowcase protectors, and have yet to see an insect. However, Orkin did treat the zippers on the box spring and mattress protectors, as an added measure.

Couldn't give you answer to that.dont have bed bugs, using it as protection. It is great quality. Covers over the zippers, I think it would do the job. Good luck, and sorry you have to deal with that.

The mattress cover doesn't eliminate bed bugs, only prevents bugs and dirt from getting to the mattress.

This product does not even work on bed bugs. Will it kill dust mites? I do not know. Does it kill bedbugs no it does not. Hope this helps

It will kill bed bugs as it says on the internet. I have the web-site where you can read what to do: http://www.earthworkshealth.com/get-rid-of-bed-bugs.php. That will help you more than I can because I have never had bed bugs.

Have not tried it for bed bugs. Wash all bedding in hot water and tumble dry in a hot dryer. Wash all outer cases of pillows, then freeze the pillows for 24 hours. Vacuum mattress well and apply Cedarcide: www.cedarcide.com or get it on Amazon. Be aware that it does smell like cedar. You can apply it safely to yourself, as well. Good luck.

I do not believe it protects against bed bugs and flees. But Borax supposedly does the trick.

I put a pillowcase on mine and it seems to work just as well with it on. Now if you have a flannel sheet set or something like it, then I'm not sure that would work nearly as well, or at all. But using plain 800TC sheets, it still works.

No, well don't think so have not had bed bugs. However in my apartment it's near a wooded area so we get spiders. Also it did not help with the mouse. The exterminator did that. I have continued to use the device just in case.

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!!

I don't know about bed bugs. I think there are other things best suited for them. As for other bugs. I think this works pretty good. I bought 2 to replace an old version of Riddex and I like it. I have had the Riddex Plus for a couple of months now and they work GREAT for me. Very pleased..

Bed bugs will live in your box spring a well as the mattress.This product is specifically for mattresses and does not come with anything to cover the box spring.You could get two and be protected that way, but I'm willing to bet that there's a bed bug box spring protector out there.

I purchased a zip up cover for mine and then used a regular pillow case over it. When I washed both covers...the zip up did have some small feathers I had to shake out. If your question is were feathers all over the bed...nope. I recommend purchasing the zip up cover, tho

Yes. I was told that bed bugs live in the box spring and just move around the mattress. I have the cover for both mattress and box spring

I suggest consulting with an exterminator for the correct answer. I bought this encasement for a relative, I also bought an encasement for myself to cover the mattress at a seasonal rental in Florida as a precaution.

The product doesn't mention bed bug protection as it's a fitted sheet design. SafeRest also makes another product called a bed bug proof encasement, which is also available on Amazon. Hope this helps.

Hi, if you are going to steam the matress, do it first then install the encasement. I steamed my carpets but not the matress, it might be a waste of your time. Personally I just bought rubbing alcohol and a spray bottle and I sprayed it all over the mattress as well as on the visible bed bugs that were hiding in the corners and then I placed encasement. Honestly from my experience if there are any eggs or live bed bugs when you encase it they get stuck in there. Only con to rubbing alcohol is that it doesn't kill eggs just live bed bugs with 2 simple sprays! I would also recommend you buy the beep coasters those will detect if you got rid of them or if the problem is decreasing. Good luck!
