If you’re in the hotel business, a significant portion of your inventory is tied up in beds. A good night’s sleep is what your guests are paying for. Comfortable beds mean return business. In fact, a few hotels are so well known for the superior quality of their beds — and the extraordinary good night’s sleep they provide — that you can actually buy the bed you sleep in and take it home!

With bed bugs invading America coast-to-coast, the hospitality industry is frantically searching for ways to protect their extensive investment in mattresses and box springs. A few bed bugs carried in on the clothing or luggage of a single guest can spell doom for a hotel or motel. To a bed bug, a hotel bed is a virtual smorgasbord. The menu changes every night! Bed bugs are tiny and prolific. Since not everyone reacts to their bites, you might not even know you have bed bugs in your facility until they start to spread. And spread they will — through wall voids, plumbing and electrical pass throughs, inside ducts, on guests’ and maids’ clothing, on linens trundled down the hall to housekeeping. It only takes one unfortunate night to trigger a disaster. Before you know it you have frightened, irate guests mobbing your front desk, demanding instant check outs and full refunds.

The problem has become so huge that bed bug infestations regularly make the news. If you own a hospitality business, this is negative publicity of the worst kind. Bed bug victims regularly post the names and addresses of infected hotels on high-traffic websites. If your facility becomes infected and the word gets out (and it will, bed bugs are just too gross to be kept secret), you might as well lock your doors and shut down. Even after successful extermination, many guests will refuse to return, so abhorrent are bed bugs to the American public.

Smart hospitality managers are taking pro-active measures to protect their facilities — and their beds. They are purchasing and installing specially designed bed bug-proof mattress and box springs encasements. At Stern Environmental Group we have received numerous inquiries from worried hotel and housekeeping managers about our superior professional-grade mattress encasements. We sell the only encasement product specifically designed by bed bug extermination professionals to solve the bed bug problem.

BugOff from Protect-A-Bed is uniquely designed to be impervious to tiny bed bugs. They can’t crawl through it, bite through it or maneuver through the zipper teeth. If you already have bed bugs in the mattress, they are trapped forever and eventually die. The cover is designed to remain on the mattress for its full lifetime. You never need to remove it. If your facility is bed bug free, BugOff keeps bed bugs from getting into your mattresses, protecting your considerable investment. Should the nasty pests invade your facility in the future, your mattresses and box springs are fully protected and bed bugs will be easier to exterminate because they can’t harbor in the mattresses.
