Does it protect against bed bugs,beetles, and any other type of insect? If not give me good detail besides just saying "no". I would really appreciate

When you latch the lid on it is pretty snug. I use them to store collectible books and I feel confident that they will keep everything out. Hope this helps.

The lid does seem to fit really tightly, but I'm not sure if really small bugs could still get inside. If you really want to be sure, try putting a sheet of plastic wrap over the top then snap on the lid.

I never used it to kill bed bugs. When I travel , I use a product called Ridd to spray the room and my suit case. Just being safe and eliminate the chance of bringing any back with me.

As it says in the description: "helps eliminate bedbugs". There is a zipper, so this item is not absolutely air tight; thus, bedbugs (if you have them) could live for a fairly long time inside this cover. I personally have no experience with this. It does say in the description: "eliminates dust mites". Since several in our family have asthma, that was my concern, and there is a big difference sleeping with this cover, and sleeping without it.

no where on this product does it say that it helps with bed bugs... it helps with dust mites. i am returning the product because it doesn't help with bed bugs. i got pillow protectors from saferest and that product does protect against bed bugs & dust mites.

I do not know how bad your infestation is . Mine was slight, and in one room only. My house is carpeted and as a precaution I spray weekly and so far so good . No noted bed bugs. So I will keep using it as a preventive measure. It seems that the spray has a residual effect . Once a week seems to keep it in check. So far so good.

I don't know if it would or not, as it is not air tight. But it would protect from larger bugs, maybe not ants though.

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.

These encasements will protect against bugs and insects from biting. Bed Bugs are a huge problem in dorms.A soft mattress pad for additional comfort may be used to cover the encasements. The encasements also provide a fluid barrier. For easy installation, stand the mattress on end and simply zip on the encasements

I cant tell you if it does because I have never had that problem, but I heard bed bugs are very hard to get rid of, some people claim that this works on bed bugs! I would call cedarcide and ask them for there strongest most effective for bed bugs formula. I do love the stuff, and have seen several dead insects every time after I spray, like spiders beetles and scorpions. So if it keeps them out of my house I'm happy!

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.

The "insect shield" is just a repellent of some kind. I paid extra for it, because I was going into some tropical swamps in Trinidad, and figured it would be worth it. Didn't make a difference - mosquitoes still swarmed around my head. Obviously, they can't get through the net, but it certainly didn't "hide" me, which is basically what repellent is supposed to do. Down there, even 98% DEET repellent only works for a few hours. The mosquitoes are larger, brutal monsters, different from our mosquitoes in northern Wisconsin. Basically, don't pay extra for the insect shield, because it makes no difference (at least in a tropical swamp). In the north-woods with normal mosquitoes, maybe it would make a difference.

Protect A Bed was my brand of choice because they have been independantly tested and passed all quality control tests. It depends on what you want the encasement for though. Are you actually concerned about bed bugs? Like me did you get a second hand mattress and just want to cover it? If you aren't worried about bed bugs then there are several other brands that are cheaper and would probably work just as well. I absolutely love my protect a bed encasement. Our son sometimes gets in our bed at night if he has a bad dream and wets the bed on occasion too. It worked perfectly as a waterproof encasement.

I have no idea if it is good against bed bugs. We bought ours for medical reasons. This does encase the entire mattress if that helps and the quality of the product is very good. We would buy this product again.

It's a good strong light and will light up anything that glows (blood, etc.), but I don't have personal experience with bed bugs and see conflicting statments on line. It's pretty clear that the bug itself doesn't glow, but some claim what they leave behind does (waste and blood trails). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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 don't know. Your question inspired me to do a google search, and I found the answer below on this site: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12133597/ns/dateline_nbc-dont_let_the_bed_bugs_bite/t/your-bed-bug-questions-answered/ QUESTION: A similar question has to do with mattress covers, can they prevent bed bugs? ANSWER: The answer is no. Bed bugs can still get on top of the mattress cover or harbor in the bed frame. The advantage of the mattress cover is that if you already have bed bugs, you can trap them inside the cover and they cannot bite through. If you don't have bed bugs the cover saves you from having to throw out the mattress if you ever get bed bugs.

It depends on your chemistry. Personally, I was disappointed in the product. I'm in Florida and it did not protect against no-see-ums completely. However, bugs are drawn to me more than anyone I'm with at any given time, and it did work for the others. Seems Deep Woods Off or Bullfrog are the things that work for my skin, although one contains DEET and the other is a spray.
