Can this be used with as a defense against bed bugs?

Yes, it had a box spring cover & you can purchase (each item is a separate purchase) pillow protector as well. They protect your mattress from all kinds of creepy crawlers!

Yes, it is also bedbug proof. If you want to buy this item, it is smart to buy the pillow cases also. I have bought them along with the mattress cover.

Definitely! While this alone won't get rid of them, knowing your bed is safe gives you great peace of mind. Put vaseline on the bottom of your bed posts, headboard, anywhere that touches the ground, get eucalyptus oil (they hate the smell!) and spray ammonia on the bed rails and nail posts. Make sure you get the boxspring, mattress AND pillow covers! Sleep tight and, no, the bed bugs won't bite!

I ordered Kleen green naturally several months ago to get rid of bed bugs however I took care of the bed bugs another way. I see this can be used for various things when dialuted as required however to date I have not used it but plan to do so in the near future.

I've never used it for that purpose but I think it would be fine as long as no food is sprayed. I know it doesn't compare but I spray it directly on my dog's bed and him a few times and it works quite well.

Yes, as long as you don't walk over it. I use it under and around the perimeter of my bed. It's been 4 months since I started using it and I have not seen any single bed bug in the last month. It works but it takes time. It's not right away. Try not to walk on it barefoot. I find it itchy and you don't want to get the powder directly on top of the bed where you sleep. For additional information check out the youtube videos on Diatomaceous Earth. Good luck, I also used Ortho's Home Defense Bed Bud Killer cause it kills on contact and keeps killing for a few days after. Don't give up, be persistent wash your curtains and vacuum often.

From the research I did prior to purchase, I gathered that it does protect against bed bugs.

Sorry - I don't know. I only use this on the beds for my cats. It does say that it kills many bugs. All I can suggest is to try it and see. You can also check the University of California's info as a starting point to get rid of them. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74136.htmlGood luck!

Yes it kills bed bugs I used it you need to cover the whole floor under your bed do line around your walls and take you outlet covers off and put some in there you should also get some form of chemical spray and spray the walls and and cracks worked for me haven't had them sence and a lot cheaper then a exterminator

I really can't say. I used this item to prevent getting them. Never had them but live in an area where there are a ton of bugs and am just paranoid about getting bed bugs. Don't have any to date.

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 would not think it would. It does not encase the mattress, it fits more like a fitted sheet. Plus it's not plastic, it's breathable material so I'm sure they (bed bugs) could compromise this cover.

Try Hot Shot. I was staying with a friend and they had them. I spent money on this product. It did not help at all. I still got bit. Also watched the bugs crawl as if nothing was there. As the $30 no chemical solution was a waste to. They actually became immune to it. Bst bet from my friend who owned a store is to but Hot shot bombs for bed bugs. I know hey sell them at Walmart. Also I worked in a hotel and besides using expensive heat treatment us houseman had to steam mattresses with an iron which is very effective.

I cannot honestly answer this question since we don't have a bed bug problem. However, the fact that this mattress cover envelops the mattress would prevent bed bugs from getting in.

Sorry...I am not sure if this product works on bed bugs, I haven't experienced any bed bugs. I know it works well outdoors on all types of other bugs.

You can if you can hang it high enough. It's a lot of fabric but it could easily cover a crib and it definitely keeps out the bugs!
