My Pest Professional wants me to throw out my mattress and box spring because of bed bugs. Can I use ActiveGuard® instead?

atlogoheader.png

 

Bedding is hard to treat and some Pest Management Professionals will suggest that infested bedding be thrown away.  This is because mattresses are sites where bed bugs and their eggs are hard to access and kill; many of these may be left alive even after a thorough treatment by a Pest Management Professional.  

ActiveGuard® may be used to salvage infested bedding as part of a treatment program or to protect bedding from future infestation because its unique structure will kill hatched bed bugs even after the treatment is completed.

ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners are covered under U.S. Patents 5,916,580, 6,214,365, 6,440,438 and pending patents. ActiveGuard®'s formulation represents a unique and proprietary delivery system that offers sustained bioavailability of permethrin for two years.  Allergy Technologies is a subsidiary of A. Carey Co. LLC, which focuses on using philanthropy as a core business strategy for its businesses. Through its Philanprofit (SM) strategy, a portion of all ActiveGuard® proceeds go to help fund inner-city homeless and women's shelters and asthma clinics.

ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners kill bed bugs generally within 72 hours, even for many of those resistant strains studied! Newest research supports that after short exposure to ActiveGuard® of only 10 min, bed bugs regardless of their level of resistance, begin to show significant reductions in feeding (biting) and a dramatic inability to lay eggs.  Real world consequences of this data include discontinuation of population growth thereby halting progression of an incident to an infestation.  If you are seeking a pro-active preventative approach, ActiveGuard® should be considered as the centerpiece of your long term solution to keep bedding from being infested! As part of a comprehensive strategy for treating an active bed bug infestation, ActiveGuard® is an excellent choice for use as the final step in treating the mattress and box spring sleeping area. These liners' two year ability to keep on killing bed bugs provides for continual prevention and control against any adult bed bugs, nymphs or eggs missed during initial treatment and any bed bugs re-introduced after treatment has been concluded.
