Will ActiveGuard® Kill bed bugs?

Bed bugs can live in a variety of places like bedding, head boards, side tables, radios, pictures and under carpets and in wall voids.  

ActiveGuard® kills bed bugs in mattresses and box springs, two prime areas where bed bugs like to live.  We strongly recommend that, in cases of an active bed bug infestation, you contact a licensed Pest Management Professional who will treat all areas of your room.  

Quite often, there will be multiple treatments required before total elimination of this pest.  For maximum protection make sure that your infested mattresses and box springs once treated, are subsequently covered with ActiveGuard® to kill any remaining bed bugs or eggs yet hatched that have inadvertently been missed after the initial treatment is completed.

College students are flocking to warm destinations and families are taking advantage of the hiatus from school for weeklong getaways. This year’s busy spring break travel season comes on the heels of reports showing that bed bugs are on the rise in hotel rooms. While bed bugs do not discriminate, they will infest a luxury hotel just as easily as they will the roadside motel, it is wise for everyone to take proactive action against the bloodsuckers.

This month’s Bed Bug Authority talks about preventing bed bugs, no luck needed.

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.
