Is ActiveGuard an encasement?

ActiveGuard is NOT an encasement.  It is a fitted sheet, scientifically impregnated with permethrin that allows an even, consistent, low dose application directly onto the mattress and boxspring over time.  Originally created for children and adults suffering from asthma and atopic skin diseases, ActiveGuard has been shown to be effective against both lab and field strains of bed bugs in addition to house dust mites.  ActiveGuard liners can be easily installed onto any size mattress.

Why do you only have four sizes?

Unlike encasements, which must provide a tight fit around mattresses and boxsprings of varying lengths and depths, ActiveGuard is a fitted sheet that easily goes over the mattress and boxspring you are treating.  The elastic holds the ActiveGuard liner firmly in place – even for deeper mattresses up to 14” deep or for longer mattresses found in college dorms.  The strong, flexible material has some flex, which allows extra leeway for PMPs when installing the liner on beds.   Having less SKUs means less storage and less investment in inventory.

Do you have an ActiveGuard that can fully encase the mattress/boxspring?

One of the strengths of ActiveGuard is that full encasement, which needs significant effort and usually requires more than one person, is not necessary for it to be effective.  The liner wraps around the mattress and boxspring denying access to the underside of the mattress without crawling over the ‘active’ surface.  Field testing shows that ActiveGuard works -- reducing callbacks and providing a reliable, longer term alternative to other mattress treatment efforts.      

Are other PMPs charging more for ActiveGuard as an ‘add-on’, or are they including the cost in their treatment?

When bed bugs strike, customers are looking for solutions that work, and ActiveGuard will help make your bed bug protocol the most effective it can be.  PMPs building ActiveGuard into their bed bug protocol, including the ActiveGuard Certified Bed Bug Professionals, will include ActiveGuard in their treatment pricing. 

Can ActiveGuard be used as part of a preventative program?  

One of the largest potential costs for transient populations like hotels and shelters is the replacement of beds and mattresses infested with bed bugs.  The ease of use and ability to kill bed bugs in mattresses makes ActiveGuard an efficient tool for protecting new and used mattresses from bed bug infestation, while killing any bed bugs that might try to make the mattress their home.
