I have not tested that, but I believe it will find them if they are on the surface. Can't say for sure. Good Luck

I have no bed bugs to test it on ;-) Although you can look up to see if a black light can even be used to detect them. If they are detectible by black light than I would bet this would do a good job , because it has worked really good in our warhouse for detecting rodent trails.

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.

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?

I was worried about that too because I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and any kind of plastic smell would have driven me nuts. In short no, there is virtually no smell to mine when it arrived. The only smell I got from it was a little bit of a new cotton smell and that went away in minutes. The first night I had this my sheets hadn't shown up yet so I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress itself and I had no issues with smell. I have mine on a wood frame instead of a box spring because I like very firm beds, it does not seem to retain too much heat because I put off heat like a furnace when I sleep and I am not uncomfortable in it like I am in memory foam or similar beds.

I read the reviews and took my time... It has been on the bed for a while now. Keeping in mind its one of my tenants. I'll ask them if its still on there securely.

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.

I haven't read all of the reviews, but my bed came with patch material if a leak was to happen. Also type I purchased states on the box that it is for household use only. I have seen ads for camping/outdoor use, so the leaks may correspond to the way it was used and for how long. Keep in mind that Amazon sellers have guidelines they must state in their offers, and in addition you can send the seller questions regarding your concerns.

I am fairly sensitive to odors like that, and I didn't experience anything like it with mine. I got a cheap pad before that I had a big issue with, and so placed dryer sheets under it and that helped. Just a thought--just in case.

Not much! I bought the bed in February, and had a problem the first time it was used. I am trying to get a replacement, but not sure if I will. I will post if I do.

Seems like you need to get a new bed. =) Had the same issue. I then went to my local costco warehouse and purchased a NovaForm memory bed (spent 299 for a queen) and added this. AMAZING! I have slept on 3k-5k mattresses and the use of both products comes super close to the feeling.

I returned mine unopened. Found water damage to the bed frame, so could no longer use the mattress. Sorry to not be of help.

Absolutely not ..if you think AMAZON would sell a mattress that smells. Then y are you even buying from Amazon. I think your watching 60 minutes to much. About mattresses from China with roaches. Plus I purchased this about 5 months ago do u think I would have kept it. Please proofread you Q's b4 u send. Because I am willing to help anyone and be honest. But being disabled. This was a waste of time.

This works only for spot treatment! These bugs can hide everywhere. Fought them for 2 years in an older wooden apartment building. Matresses are unsalvageable if infected, they will even bore into the wooden bed frames. Used the spray, bought a steamer, powder. Nothing worked 100%. Good luck. Finally rid of them, but I had to move, to finally get rid of them. They love books, videotapes, anything electronic, even power cords. They will infest draperies, and pets are vulnerable to being attacked.Best of luck,Scott..... Survivor

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

I do not know the answer to your question as I do not have bed bugs. Is this because of the Encase??? I do not know. I can tell you that I am pleased with it and believe it is a superior product to any others I researched.That is my opinion. I hope I have answered your question for you. Ron. P, Surprise, AZ.

I would imagine so. I haven't seen any bed bugs. The bed is always nice and clean looking when I change the sheets.
