We will supply a bag made from a special plastic which will take a full size mattress. The rest of the kit is a special seal and a device which removes all the air. There is good reliable data which proves all stages of bed bugs will be dead in a few weeks. I expect the kit to cost around $40 This bag is part of a simple kit.

After a few weeks all the bugs and eggs are dead. No pesticides. Is this of interest? Dear All,

I have developed a special bag which you place a mattress in. After a few weeks all the bugs and eggs are dead. No pesticides.
Is this of interest?

I am glad you saw this post too. I am still a bit concerned, though. Many people may be embarrassed to tell your workers why they are discarding a mattress. They may not know they need to be wrapped or that the workers need to know this. In addition, bed bugs may be present in a mattress even before obvious fecal spots appear. Your employees may not see the problem. So, for the safety of your teams, I would urge you to have all discarded mattresses carefully sealed before being removed from homes. I have one additional question: where would this truck <em>take</em> such a mattress? Here in NYC, where the photo was snapped, there's a booming used mattress trade, which is helping fuel the bed bug epidemic. If I were discarding a bed bug-infested mattress (which experts say is usually not necessary, since <a href="http://bedbugger.com/encasements/" rel="nofollow">encasements</a> are available to allow them to continue to be used), I would want to be sure it was going to be destroyed, and that it was not going to end up being scavenged, cursorily sprayed and resold. Thanks, Keri! I am glad you saw this post too.
