Cover Your Mattress

Another tip for the prevention of a bed bug infestation is to properly cover the mattresses in your home. There are encasements for mattresses which you can easily get from your local store. These do not necessarily prevent an infestation but they do protect your mattress from infestation. The fabric covering the mattress should be of the best quality – tear resistant and durable. Mattress safe covers have no folds near the zips where these critters can find safe havens.
