A bed bug mattress cover zips around the whole mattress or bed base, not just the sleeping surface. It is made with a tight weave, a fine zip and a small flap or lock at the end of the zip so bugs cannot crawl out through the gap. Once fitted, any bugs or eggs left inside are sealed in, and they eventually die without a meal. The crew we book fits these covers in Brisbane homes, usually as the final step of a removal visit.
Covers help in two other ways. The smooth, pale fabric gives bugs fewer seams and folds to hide in, and any new dark spots or live bugs show up clearly. That makes it much easier for you and the crew to see whether the problem is shrinking. Covers on the bed base matter as much as covers on the mattress, since bases often hold more bugs in their stapled fabric and corners.
The crew checks the size of each mattress and base, fits the covers once the bed has been steamed and has dried, and closes and locks the zips. Leave covers on for at least a year. If one tears, patch it with strong tape straight away. Covers can be wiped down and you use sheets over them as normal, so day to day life does not change. Spare beds and kids' beds can be fitted on the same visit. The crew will also check the covers for gaps on the second visit.
