Horticulture Hotline – The easy-to-use product to control bedbugs – Moultrie News

While working at the three Possum's stores, a common issue I hear is people's houses being infected with bedbugs. My go-to product is ActiveGuard Mattress Liners. This product has made so many people be able to fulfill the saying, good night, sleep tight, and dont let the bedbugs bite that it is unreal. ActiveGuard Mattress Liners also control dust mites that can trigger asthma.

The liners were developed as an extension of the globally used mosquito nets (many of which Bill Gates has funded to wipe out malaria).

These mattress liners are easy for one person to put on a bed or box spring. The liner is basically a fitted sheet, and is way easier to deal with than an encasement that requires you to put a mattress or box spring in a big bag that zippers shut (mattresses are heavy and big, so not too easy for most people). Mattresses and box springs are very expensive, and with the ActiveGuard Mattress Liners you do not have to throw them away.

I look at ActiveGuard Mattress Liners as the pre-emergent/post-emergent control of the bedbug world. If you have an infestation, you can put on an ActiveGuard Mattress Liner and many of the bedbugs will be dead within 24 hours. Some of the more resistant bedbugs could take up to 72 hours. The liners also have a growth regulator effect on bedbugs where the liners affect reproduction. Many hotels are using ActiveGuard Mattress Liners preventively to control bedbugs. The revenue lost in one night quickly pays for the liner.

ActiveGuard Mattress Liners work 24/7 for up to 2 years. Amazing. While you try to control the bedbugs in your house, you will be able to sleep easy on your own mattress. With the amount of people in tears that we have seen in Possums, this is pretty inexpensive control. It's EPA Toxicology Category IV by all routes of exposure, so no signal word nor hazards to humans and domestic animal statements are required.

If you have bedbugs or know someone who does, let them know about ActiveGuard Mattress Liners.
