Protect-A-Bed® Protects PCOs from their Customers
October 14, 2010
Company’s SecureSeal® prevents troublesome product tampering
Chicago-Protect-A-Bed, a premier provider of mattress and box spring encasements for the Pest Control Management Industry, is helping pest control operators manage the second biggest pest on a bed bug job – a meddling customer. The company will discuss how its BugLock® with SecureSeal three-sided zipper system can prevent customer mattress encasement tampering at Booth #932 at PestWorld 2010.
“Unfortunately, a pest control customer can be their own worst enemy when it comes to bed bugs elimination,” said Protect-A-Bed Senior Vice President Alan Eisenberg. “Customers are required to participate actively in the bed bug removal process, and it can be difficult to tell if a customer is following all of a PCO’s instructions. Our mattress and box spring encasements make it clear if a customer has failed to follow their PCO’s instructions on how to use the encasements.”
In addition to discussing the importance of the Protect-A-Bed SecureSeal, the company will be giving away beach towels to booth visitors that feature “The Buggersons”, Protect-A-Bed’s favorite animated bed bug family. The company’s popular bed bug helmets, which were a hit at Pest World 2009, will also be available.
Protect-A-Bed offers the world’s first scientifically proven bed bug entry, escape and bite proof mattress encasements with the patented BugLock with SecureSeal three-sided zipper system. The Protect-A-Bed system has been tested in an entomology laboratory to assure customers that it is of the highest quality and effectiveness for pest management professionals. The recently added SecureSeal gives pest management professionals and their customers the peace of mind that comes with knowing the product is difficult to tamper with, reducing the chances of a re-infestation from bed bugs potentially sealed within the mattress.
In addition to the pest control benefits, mattress encasements feature the Protect-A-Bed Miracle Membrane®, making them air vapor porous, waterproof and absorbent. The product repels bodily fluids, including blood, urine and perspiration. Protect-A-Bed mattress encasements protect against allergens such as bacteria, human skin cells, pollen, pet and dust dander. Encasements are free from harmful substances, complying with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 or as tested by SGS Group, and Protect-A-Bed encasements are FR compliant.
Protect-A-Bed mattress and box spring encasements are available through all major Pest Control Industry distributors. To learn more about Protect-A-Bed’s products for the pest control management professional, please visit www.protectabed.com or call 1-866-297-8836.
