Protect-a-Bed Pillow encasements are a recommended addition to any bed bug treatment program. You will still need to treat infested areas of the bedrooms. However, because the #1 breeding ground for bed bugs is the mattress, box spring and pillow you can now just spray and then zip up these critical areas which will eliminate a large part of the infestation. In addition, this can save an infested pillow so you don't have to throw it out and buy a replacement. Any eggs and/or bed bugs trapped in the encasement will eventually die. If you should find bed bugs on your bedding again at some point in the future, treatment would be as easy as taking off the encasement and washing it in hot water.

We recommend spraying an infested pillow with a bed bug control product, such as Steri-Fab first (or you may launder at temperatures greater than 120 degrees) before encasing it and then keeping the pillow encasements intact for at least 12 months (bed bugs can live a very long time without a blood meal). The bed bugs and eggs inside will die, and the pillows will be protected from further infestation.
