I am using a queen sized memory foam of 4 inch height, directly on the floor with no mattress. The memory foam doesn't have bed bugs, but they are crawling onto the cover which I am using in the night time. The pesticide treatment kit which I brought from your site has not eradicated them. Can the Protect-A-Bed AllerZip Bed Bug Mattress Cover help me? If so, which size do I need to choose? Do you carry 4 inch depth covers?
It is very important to remember that bedbugs do not only hide on beds, but they can hide around the perimeter of the room, in wall voids, under the lip of the carpet, in clothes and in/on other furniture. Adding a mattress encasement to a memory foam mattress that does not have any seams of folds for the bedbugs to hide in, it will not help your problem. You must treat the entire home every 7-10 days until you do not get any bites for 30 days. If you live in an apartment, it is very possible that you are getting re-infested by your neighbors and you would need to contact building management who would need to inspect and treat all infested apartments.
