Mattress covering solutions protecting against pests designed by pest control specialists.

The solution to bed bug infestations. Bed bug proof mattress covers allow you to keep your mattress even if you have a bed bug problem. Once the cover is installed nothing can get in or out of the mattress or box spring. We recommend leaving the covers on or at least one year because bedbugs can survive for one year between feedings.

Bugstop mattress encasements effectively prevent bedbugs and dust mites infestations. This is done without sacrificing any of your sleeping comfort. The mattress encasements contain 100% stretch knit polyester laminated to a urethane membrane with a satin feel. This polyester fabric blocks bedbugs, allergens, dust mites and their waste, mold spores, pollen, toxins and pet dander.

By giving blood weekly to her life partner's bug experiment, SFU scientist Regine Gries has all but given us the gift of freedom from bed bug torture.

Researchers from Simon Fraser University are hopeful they have discovered a way to get rid of bed bugs.

According to anew study,SFU biology professor Gerhard Gries and chemist Robert Britton have developed a pheromone to attract bed bugs into traps.

The bed bug pheromone consists of five volatile components that attract bed bugs combined with histamine, which signals safe shelter to the bug, causing them to stay put.

WATCH: Tips for dealing with bed bugs

At least one SFU researcher made a personal sacrifice in the name of science. Regine Gries, wife of lead researcher Gerhard Gries, suffered180,000 bed bug bites as part of the research. Shemay endure more bites as they work to finalize a commercial product.

Im not too thrilled about this, said Regine Gries, who is allergic to bug cites, in a statement, but knowing how much this technology will benefit so many people, its all worth it.

Once thought to be eradicated in developed nations, bed bugs have reappeared across Canada and around the globe.

Locally, bed bugs have been an ongoing problem in Vancouver and around B.C.In 2011, BC Housing spent nearly $750,000 dealing with bed bugs.

Alberta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. [+]

Alberta /lbrt/ is a province of Canada. With a population of 3,645,257 in 2011 and an estimated population of 4,082,571 as of January 1, 2014,[1][3] it is Canada's fourth-most populous province and most populous of Canada's three prairie provinces. Alberta and its neighbour, Saskatchewan, were established as provinces on September 1, 1905.[4]

Alberta is located in western Canada and is one of Canada's three Prairie Provinces. It is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the U.S. state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single U.S. state and is also one of only two provinces that are landlocked.

Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is located near the geographic centre of the province and is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's crude oil and also oil sands (Athabasca Oil Sands)[5] and other northern resource industries. Approximately 290km (180mi) south of the capital is Calgary, Alberta's largest city. Calgary and Edmonton centre Alberta's two census metropolitan areas, both of which have populations exceeding one million,[6] while the province has 16 census agglomerations.[7] Notable tourist destinations in the province include Banff, Canmore, Drumheller, Jasper and Sylvan Lake.

The current Premier of the province is Dave Hancock.

Alberta is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (18481939),[8] the fourth daughter of Victoria, the Queen of Canada until 1901, and Albert, Prince Consort. Princess Louise was the wife of the Marquess of Lorne, Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. Lake Louise and Mount Alberta were also named in honour of Princess Louise.[9][10]

Alberta, with an area of 661,848km2 (255,500sqmi), is the fourth largest province after Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia.[11] To the south, the province borders on the 49th parallel north, separating it from the U.S. state of Montana, while on the north the 60th parallel north divides it from the Northwest Territories. To the east, the 110th meridian west separates it from the province of Saskatchewan, while on the west its boundary with British Columbia follows the 120th meridian west south from the Northwest Territories at 60N until it reaches the Continental Divide at the Rocky Mountains, and from that point follows the line of peaks marking the Continental Divide in a generally southeasterly direction until it reaches the Montana border at 49N.

The province extends 1,223km (760mi) north to south and 660km (410mi) east to west at its maximum width. Its highest point is 3,747m (12,293ft) at the summit of Mount Columbia in the Rocky Mountains along the southwest border, while its lowest point is 152m (499ft) on the Slave River in Wood Buffalo National Park in the northeast.[12]

With the exception of the semi-arid steppe of the southeastern section, the province has adequate water resources. There are numerous rivers and lakes used for swimming, fishing and a range of water sports. There are three large lakes, Lake Claire (1,436km2 (554sqmi)) in Wood Buffalo National Park, Lesser Slave Lake (1,168km2 (451sqmi)), and Lake Athabasca (7,898 square kilometres (3,049sqmi)) which lies in both Alberta and Saskatchewan. The longest river in the province is the Athabasca River which travels 1,538km (956mi) from the Columbia Icefield in the Rocky Mountains to Lake Athabasca.[13] The largest river is the Peace River with an average flow of 2161 m3/s. The Peace River originates in the Rocky Mountains of northern British Columbia and flows through northern Alberta and into the Slave River, a tributary of the Mackenzie River.

From what I've been reading, it is crystalline silica (like the kind in pool-grade, I believe) that is cancer-causing. The DE from the green earth people should be crushed diatoms, and is not refined crystalline silica, so I don't think we have to worry too much about cancer, though I would not be inhaling it either...

Quote from here: http://eap.mcgill.ca/Publications/eap4.htm "The only health precautions that need to be taken are that if large areas are being treated with a power duster, the applicator should wear a mask to prevent inhalation. Because DE is made of silica, people sometimes mistakenly think that DE causes silicosis. As indicated above, however, pesticide quality DE is usually over 97 per cent amorphous silica, which does not cause silicosis, which is associated only with crystalline silica. Indeed, inhalation of road dust and grain dust IS likely to be more harmful than DE."

Quote from WHO: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs238/en/ "Work in mines, quarries, foundries, and construction sites, in the manufacture of glass, ceramics, and abrasive powders, and in masonry workshops is particularly risky."

Workers in those fields can develop lung cancer after years of on-the-job exposure.
