Well, let me start by saying we don't have a bed bug issue in our home. That being said, if we did, there is no way they could make a home in our mattress with this cover. The cover completely protects out mattress, and is sealed really well. There is no way any liquid or bug would be able to get in. Hope this helps.

Encase did a wonderful job for our problem with bedbugs. We got them from guests who were staying with us. Steam, vacuum, and encase, that's the only way to rid yourself of them. Encase saved the day and night for us!

Hard to tell if it's the mattress protector or the chemical spray we did, but the bed bugs disappeared pretty quickly. We had a pretty nasty infestation that has quickly dwindled down to nothing now.

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..

As long as you don't injest anything it is alright but this product did not kill the bedbugs.

I've sprayed this directly on bed bugs and they walk away. I've sprayed CedarGreen an essential oil on them and they die in seconds. When I have to travel to hotels for work I spray this, which is perfectly safe, around the legs of the bed, the edge of the mattress, and anything touching the bed, also around where my luggage will be. It has a pretty potent smell, so I'd give it an hour to disipate a bit. This is powerfully repugnant to bugs, the product you are asking about I don't think has much if any effect.

Well the description says it repels bed bugs. It will help repel pests, but it's not the end all and be all. If you have an infestation of bed bugs already, it's not going to eliminate them.

I used this with DE for bedbugs. I put it close to the joints of the bed and on the floor. I also used it in my pantry for weevils. Just fill it and squeeze. It gets in the air but just leave the area for a little while to allow it to settle.

We love ours. Only had it last year but yes it does a good job with bugs. So far no problems.

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.

It works on Bedbugs which are very hard to get rid off, I would say one of the hardest. Once I sprayed it in a corners of the room and bed and mattress all kinds of bugs showed up dead. I would give it a try.

Protect a bed will not prevent an infestation. They don't live in the bed as much as they live in the cracks in the walls, power outlets, tiny cracks anywhere they can find. They seek carbon dioxide when a human breathes when sleeping. Heat treatment of your dorm room is the only way to eradicate an infestation. If you don't have an infestation, I recommend you don't worry about it over-much.

I don't know for sure either. I am hoping it does but I have some large "chux" under son's sheets just in case. I know it protects against bed bugs and dust mites. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The reviews say is good agains dust mites and they're smaller than bed bugs, what do you think?

Yes, it will work in a bedroom. I've used it in a bed room. DO NOT use the Nosquito bait with it indoors. Just use the UV black light and it will attract and kill the bugs. The only problem I see with using it in a bedroom is that every time and insect is killed, it makes a loud *SNAP!* noise that will probably wake up anyone trying to sleep near this.

I used high heat as well as mattress and box spring covers, I also used a LOT of baking soda and also bed bug bully. It seemed very effective to me, there were some 'stragglers' which we hit with the bed bug bully and no problems since, and it has been well over four months. No hard research that I've seen, but I was determined to do this without toxic pesticides, and I feel this product was a very good ally in our battle, which we won.

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

Yes, its really easy to use and I think it really works. Its been 8 months bedbug free, but I'm still going to wait for a year to be sure.
