The busy summer travel season is upon us and bed bugs are all over the news. The hot topic, when it comes to bed bugs, is that a large percentage of the public are unable to properly identify the pest. However, online reports of bed bug incidents, particularly at hotels, are high. Dealing with inaccurate claims can be quite a dilemma for hoteliers and travelers alike.

Multi-unit housing scenarios like an assisted living facility are at high risk of an infestation. That doesn’t mean that bed bug infestations cannot be prevented. Read on to learn more about the 'Power of Prevention' and how it can stop a bed bug introduction from turning into a full-fledged infestation in this month’s Bed Bug Authority…

Allergy Technologies will be "On the Road" in July and August 2017
 

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. 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.
