Bed Bug Battles Mandatory encasements CleanRest mattress encasements are a must on every bed bug job for Pine State Pest Solutions I f it were possible to have a favorite pest Parker Adams owner of Auburn Maine based Pine State Pest Solutions would choose the bed bug After all when he first got into the business it was with tackling that one particular pest in mind When I founded my company originally in 2010 we started out just doing bed bugs says Adams who adds there parker adams were fewer resources for bed bug treatments available at that time Since then hes seen an increase in research on bed bug treatments following the pests resurgence New technology and ongoing research have led to more efficient products that save time and money for both customers and pest management professionals One such product that has proved indispensible for Adams and his technicians in the battle against bed bugs is the CleanRest mattress and box spring encasement system CleanRest by CleanBrands with its patented Zip N Click closure system is so effective that Adams specifies the product as part of his required bed bug treatment protocol In addition Adams uses them on his own bed and all his family members beds at home CleanRest Pro encasements are 100 percent bed bug bite and escape proof waterproof and come with a 10 year full product warranty according to the companys website We go through thousands of these every year and we never have to call in the warranties says Adams Adams says mattresses and box springs can be all sorts of different colors and have hundreds of places for bed bugs to hide within dimples folds piping and plastic corner caps It can take one of his techs quite a while to fully inspect a bed for the elusive pests However after treating the room and bed and putting the CleanRest encasement on technicians can easily see in their follow up visits whether the room is still infested This saves his techs time and in turn saves the customer money Increasing the effectiveness of each treatment and reducing the amount of time needed to conduct inspections are key reasons why Adams requires CleanRest on every bed bug call Adams said the CleanRest encasements are incredibly useful for hotels residential group homes and other facilities where beds are part of the propertys assets Theyre flexible washable and lockable so you can tell if someone has tampered with it he says Since Pine State began using CleanRest encasements on ADVERTORIAL BED BUG BATTLE Company Pine State Pest Solutions BaTTLEFIELD Residences condos and apartments schools hotels and motels fitness centers nursing homes daycare facilities and other commercial properties War STory Before CleanRest became part of Pine States standard protocol Adams had a tough infestation at a residential group home on a budget He understood the hesitancy to spend the money on the encasements but when several callbacks to continually chase the bugs around the facility started adding up Adams convinced them of the encasements importance Once his team had encasements on all the beds they were able to determine which rooms had the recurring problems in their follow up visits And because the encasements are all white and have no folds its easy to see the telltale bed bug spotting says Adams Now their employees can easily monitor which rooms might need future treatments he says saving the customer and Pine State time and money WEAPON OF CHOICE ConTroL SoLUTIon CleanRest Pro mattress and box spring encasements by CleanBrands WEBSITE CleanBrands com every job bed bug calls require fewer treatments achieve faster results and result in fewer callbacks This has allowed Adams company the spare time and manpower to expand the scope of his company to treat for other pest problems B6 November 2017 Pest Management Professional mypmp net
