I'm curious if those plastic sheets are good for that!Do plastic sheets help prevent bed bug bites?
totally trash the mattress! bed bugs are lil resilient buggies. go out and get an air matress for the time being. try ordering this natural powder that kills any bug that walks thru it. its similar to boric acid but not as toxic to humans and animals.

the main ingredient:Diatomaceous Earth
it breaks down the protective wax bugs have on them to keep them from dehydrating. they walk thru the fine dust, clean themselves and completely dryout. it works on larva and eggs. it kills roaches, fleas, ticks, bedbugs, u name it, its dead! you can apply it directly on your skin, pets, any surface. i tried it and it works. here's some more info on the main ingredient:

as for the plastic bedcover or matress sealer... it would be good when u get your new matress to get one of those sealers to help prevent anything serious like that to happen again.
hope it works for u!

Bed bugs can be very difficult to eradicate however control may be achieved by the use of powerful broadband insecticides. Such insecticides are only available for professional use. Therefore, unless the infestation is minimal, the use of a reputable professional pest control company is advisable. When spraying with insecticide particular attention is paid to the bed frames, skirting boards, wall switches and any cracks or crevices in which the bedbugs are likely to be hiding. It is extremely important to recognise that the eradication of bedbugs is not achieved immediately after a course of treatment. The bed bugs hide deep within harbourages in inaccessible areas. Therefore the bed bug will only come into contact with the insecticide when it emerges to feed. The bed bug will only emerge to feed if it senses the presence of a blood meal. It is the carbon dioxide that humans exhale, coupled with the warmth of the body, that draws the bedbug out of its harbourage. For this reason it is recommended that people sleep in affected rooms after they have been treated. Otherwise the bedbug will not emerge from its harbourage and so will not come into contact with the insecticide. Whether you prefer plastic sheets or sheets of silk, will have no affect apart from giving less grip to the feet of the insect, they are not a deterrent.

no. but Terminex helps!
I don't know if the plastic sheets will help, but you really need to get an exterminator in there. My apt. building had a bad problem with them and it only got worse (my neighbor was covered in bites from head to toe) until we called someone in. They got rid of the bugs in one spraying, but we had them come back for followups.
It's worth the money to get rid of them once and for al
More than likely not. Plastic has very small holes that microscopic bugs can get through. I was a sales person at rooms to go and went through a lot of training on furniture. This was a couple of yrs ago. I don't remember the name of th fabric or ingrediants. You need to buy a matress protector. You can also have your furniture sprayed. It will repel stains, keep your furniture from fading and keep bugs out of the material. The matress protector will do the same for your mattress. No urine stains or blood an NO ';BED BUGS';. I do own one. You can call a Rooms to Go store or any mattress store and ask about their mattress protectors. You can also get them for pillows. Ever noticed how heavy your mattress becomes over years? It's full of dead skin which bugs thrive off of. Get a new mattress and protect the investment with a cover that has a warranty.
