PRESS RELEASE: Mattress Safe® Mattress Protectors Achieve Bed Bug Proof Certification
Cumming GA
May 23, 2007
Mattress Safe® has achieved accreditation as a Pest Control Management Product. A "Bite Test" and a "Penetration and Escape Test" were performed on Mattress Safe's® "Ultimate" zippered encasement by a certified entomologist to determine whether or not bed bugs can actively feed through the fabric of the encasement and to discover whether or not the mattress encasement can be used as part of a bed bug exclusion or inclusion process.
The conclusions of these tests were that bed bugs can not bite through nor penetrate through the fabric or design of the encasement, thus proving Mattress Safe’s® ability to prevent the infestation of bed bugs in mattresses and box springs.
Hotels with rooms that become infested by bed bugs often need to discard mattresses and box springs due to the damage caused by blood stains and fecal matter. The incorporation of Mattress Safe’s® mattress and box spring encasements proves to be a cost effective method for preventing damage caused by bed bugs and minimize their available harborage spaces. For more information on conclusive testing, please contact Will Poston.
