Protect-A-Bed offers a number of products to help pest control professionals with the difficult job of bed bug management.

Protect-A-Bed offers the world’s first scientifically proven bed bug entry, escape and bite proof mattress encasements with the patented Bug Lock with Secure Seal three-sided zipper system. The Protect-A-Bed system has been tested in an entomology laboratory to assure customers that is it is of the highest quality and effectiveness for pest management professionals. The Secure Seal 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.

“Our patented system is just what pest control professionals need to assess whether a mattress encasement has been tampered with and whether their previous bed bug elimination efforts have been compromised by a customer,” said James Bell, CEO of Protect-A-Bed. “We’ve designed a product that lowers pest control operator labor costs by making the bed bug removal process more efficient, making it easier to leverage bed bug management as a new category for profit.”
