  • Asked by Lisa from Lawton
    12/01/2015
    Q
    Can the ActiveGuard Mattress Liner be used effectively for a platform bed to cover the wood slats under the mattress?
    I do not have box spring instead wood planking that has been treated as well as mattress encasement. Can this be used over the wood planking for added protection?
    A

    While the ActiveGuard liner has not been specifically tested for use on the wooden slats under a mattress, and it is really designed more for a soft surface like a mattress, boxspring or sofa bed, it could potentially work for your needs. Normally with slats you would spray the slats where they connect with the bed frame with a residual bedbug insecticide like Temprid SC to give you continuous protection in those areas.

  • Asked by Rick from Greenville, Sc
    09/27/2017
    Q
    If I already have bed bugs in my home, will using the ActiveGuard Mattress Liner get rid of them or serve as a proactive treatment?
    A

    If you have an active infestatoin of bed bugs, using the ActiveGuard Mattress Liner alone will not eradicate them. This mattress liner will only protect the mattress and bugs that contact it. To fully treat for bedbugs, we recommend using one of our Bed Bug Control Kits for the best products and most effective treatment steps. Please read our How to Treat for Bed Bugs Pest Control Guide for step by step instructions on how to do a full treatment.

  • Asked by Jean from Alamosa, Colorado
    02/09/2016
    Q
    Can the ActiveGuard Mattress Liner be used on a waterbed mattress?
    A

    The ActiveGuard Mattress Liner should be fine to use on a waterbed mattress as long as you select the correct size for your bed. We would still recommend using a mattress pad underneath the ActiveGuard Liner, and of course a fitted sheet on top of it when making the bed. Please keep in mind that we do not recommend the ActiveGuard as the sole treatment for existing bed bug infestations.
