Do bed bug mattress covers work?

I’ve been seeing bed bugs and want to know if using a special mattress cover will actually help. Do these bed bug mattress covers really work?

A bed bug mattress encasement can help, but it won’t solve an infestation alone. A mattress cover seals the mattress so bed bugs already inside can’t get out, and new ones can’t move in. This makes it easier to identify and address the pests that are still active. The best types of bed bug mattress covers are those that fully zip around the mattress and fit snugly. 

However, it's important to note that bed bugs don’t just live in mattresses. They can hide in box springs, furniture, or even behind walls. That means a mattress encasement for bed bugs or a bed bug protector may help in your battle to eliminate bed bugs, but is not a complete fix.

A bed bug-proof mattress protector can help to tackle this tiny and tricky pest, but won’t stop the infestation. For long-term results, our technicians can treat the problem at its source, ensure they find and treat all possible hiding spots and help protect your home with our bed bug pest control service.
