Perfect Fit
I have recently been in and out of hospital with my mom. When admitted I typically stay overnight with her. One morning I woke up with bites on my back and arm. I never had an experience with beg bugs, so I summed it up to spider bites. My aunt came to visit my mother and noticed the swelling on my arm. She is a nurse and said they looked like bed bug bites. Again I never experienced bed bugs nor been curious to know anything about them. Naturally there was no urgency on my part other than assuming it was a one time occurrence and life goes on. Later that evening as the itching intensified and swelling spreaded, I did report to nurse and wanted my mom moved into another room. I was then informed that there has been issues with bed bugs. All her belongings were bagged and she was given a shower. By then I’ve been home and bought in overnight bags and blankets I used while in the hospital. Since then I’ve been experiencing bites. I called exterminator but he was not able to locate any bugs or signs that they were in my home. Before I spend a load of money I have started doing all the necessary precautions. I bought these mattress encasements after researching bed bugs and preventive maintenance . The quality is great and it fit my mattress like a glove. I’m happy with the purchase. Not sure if it’s effective at this point but definitely an essential item needed when attempting to trap them. I will update my review if anything change . Update: I did experience one more episode of bites since last review. I still didn’t spend thousands on exterminator I used Ortho Home Defense Max for bed bugs, mattress/box spring covers, sprayed bed linen and furniture with alcohol (was told they hate the smell), vacuumed daily, bagged up linens in black bags and sat out in heat for 2 weeks, and some other little things. It’s been 4 months and no sign of bed bugs. Update April 5, 2025- still no more occurrence. I took case off mattress to wash. It held up well during washing and was easy to put back on.
