About Mattress Encasements

You don’t have to throw your furniture away!  A good quality encasement can turn an old or infested bed into a clean, comfortable place to sleep.  A bed bug proof mattress or box spring encasement serves multiple purposes.  If there are bugs or eggs in or on the mattress, the encasement seals them in, and the bugs eventually die.  When GP Home Defense LLC does a bed bug treatment, we treat the box spring before putting them into the encasements.  This ensures that death will come quickly for any trapped bugs.  Bed bugs love not only the proximity to the buffet provided by the mattress, but they also love all the piping, quilting, folds and tags.  These provide ideal places for bed bugs to hide and lay eggs.  And the box spring is hollow inside, with lots of fabric, padding and rough wood.  Bed bug paradise.  A decent encasement provides a smooth outside surface with no place to hide or lay eggs, and provide an ideal surface for our safe and phenomenally treatment process.  Good encasements also protect against dust mites, mold, pollen, bacteria and liquid damage.

We at GP Home Defense have tested numerous brands of encasements.  Some are definitely better than others, and we confidently stand behind the brand we carry.

Because of GP Home Defense’s own initiative to deal with the bed bug crisis here at home, we sell these encasements for less than you could even buy them for direct from the manufacturer.

Encasements are an important part of a comprehensive bed bug treatment, but you can buy these encasements from us whether or not you are taking advantage of any of our other services.
