Hi ,

Welcome to the Bed Bug Authority for October 2016

There couldn't be a more inviting living environment for a bed bug infestation than a college dormitory or student apartment complex. College housing with high numbers of students packed into small living quarters with clutter abounding, all coming from different parts around the world offers a perfect scenario for the introduction and establishment of bed bugs.

Although a person cannot stop bed bugs from being introduced into their dorm room or their home, they can protect that introduction from turning into a full-fledged infestation. Read on to learn more about preventing bed bugs in this month’s 'Bed Bug Authority' as we focus on Bed Bugs at School.

A large-scale field demonstration was conducted in senior living facilities located in New York City to evaluate the value of installing ActiveGuard Mattress Liners, impregnated with the insecticide permethrin, for the control of bed bugs. This demonstration was managed by M&M Environmental, a professional pest management firm located in the New York City area. Because M&M has been providing bed bug control services to this senior population, the firm’s representatives wanted to see if ActiveGuard, by killing bed bugs directly, could prevent or retard early reinfestations, which can lead to an eventual full-blown infestation within this sensitive population of residents.

No one wants bed bugs as roommates! As bed bugs have reached epidemic proportions, more and more college campuses are gearing up to battle this bloodthirsty pest. Students need to equip themselves with facts and information about bed bugs so they can identify an infestation early on, take action if they notice bed bug activity in their room, but, most importantly, take steps to prevent them entirely. Information is at the heart of the solution; get informed! It's the best way you can defend yourself and your dorm room from an invasion of bed bugs.

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.
