Notes from the Green Truck

My friend recently attended the orientation session for the out-of-state college that her son will be attending this coming fall semester.  Many important topics were covered, including the fact that the college had experienced the pitfalls of bed bug infestations.

The families were given a list of items that each student should bring to college with them.  One of the required items is a mattress cover to provide protection from bed bugs.  They were informed that they could purchase a mattress cover at the campus store if they chose to.  Knowing that I am a bed bug expert, my friend contacted me instead.  My first question to her was “Is it a Protect-A-Bed mattress cover?”  It wasn’t.  I told her not to buy the campus one and instead invest in the best bed bug mattress cover on the market.

Protect-A-Bed offers premium mattress encasements in sizes ranging from crib to California King.  Each cover features a three sided zipper so that the mattress and box spring can be completely sealed.  No bed bugs in, no bed bugs out.  This is an important feature because bed bugs can live for a year without a blood meal.  If there were bed bugs in the college dormitory last school year, they could still be there upon check-in this year.  These amazing mattress covers are absolutely bite proof as well so if there are any bed bugs on the existing mattress, there will be no possibility of them being able to bite through the fabric.  These special covers also provide a clean and healthy sleeping environment for people who suffer from allergies.

If you have a child heading off to college this year, contact ChemTec Pest Control to obtain your Protect-A-Bed mattress cover today.
