Does it protect against bedbugs in hotels?

The only thing that will (help) protect you from bedbugs in a hotel is inspecting your hotel room (bed, box spring, headboard etc.) for signs of bedbugs upon arrival and moving on if you do indeed see signs, and even then it's not 100% guaranteed that bedbugs aren't present especially if there is a new infestation. If they're hungry, they will find a way to get to you and no sheet or clothing can protect you from it. Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing we have to worry about whilst traveling these days.

I don't know. Your question inspired me to do a google search, and I found the answer below on this site: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12133597/ns/dateline_nbc-dont_let_the_bed_bugs_bite/t/your-bed-bug-questions-answered/ QUESTION: A similar question has to do with mattress covers, can they prevent bed bugs? ANSWER: The answer is no. Bed bugs can still get on top of the mattress cover or harbor in the bed frame. The advantage of the mattress cover is that if you already have bed bugs, you can trap them inside the cover and they cannot bite through. If you don't have bed bugs the cover saves you from having to throw out the mattress if you ever get bed bugs.

This mattress encasement seems to be a good storage option to keep the bugs out and keep it clean: http://amzn.to/1siuQAy . Also it this can be washed and is waterproof, so its good to have to put over the mattress while you sleep on it.

This pillow comes with a cover. I have had no problem with bed bugs and this pillow. But the cover would help me to know the pillow itself is covered and protected.

Protect a bed will not prevent an infestation. They don't live in the bed as much as they live in the cracks in the walls, power outlets, tiny cracks anywhere they can find. They seek carbon dioxide when a human breathes when sleeping. Heat treatment of your dorm room is the only way to eradicate an infestation. If you don't have an infestation, I recommend you don't worry about it over-much.

Sorry i cannot answer your inquiry because i do not have this priduct, i used the best yet brand. The bedbug patrol is too strong in smell and we cannot stand it.

Never have had bedbugs, Vanessa, but don't want them either! We just got a new bed & wanted protection - this was highly recommended to us. It does take about 3 people to get it on, but well worth it. We travel a lot, so I always worry about what we might bring home. Feel much safer now that I have this. Hope this helps.

I use this product to protect from allergens which it does. Bed bugs were not a concern when I purchased it and does not state it in the packaging.

It does not prevent bedbugs, but if you do get bed bugs they cannot get into the mattress. You can wash the cover to get rid of any dead ones after they spray. It saves you from buying a new mattress. I would suggest getting a box spring cover and pillow covers. I had bed bugs at one of my rental properties and had to through ever thing out. So if I get them again I can wash all the coverings and save the new stuff I bought.

This is not a fully encased (zippered) protector, and is not the best choice if protection from bed bugs is your main concern.

no where on this product does it say that it helps with bed bugs... it helps with dust mites. i am returning the product because it doesn't help with bed bugs. i got pillow protectors from saferest and that product does protect against bed bugs & dust mites.

Well the description says it repels bed bugs. It will help repel pests, but it's not the end all and be all. If you have an infestation of bed bugs already, it's not going to eliminate them.

No, keep it on there. It helps the bugs climb into the cup. We filled our cups up with diatomaceous earth and we moved all furniture away from walls. Your bed can not have ANY avenue for the bed bugs to get onto the bed. Nothing can touch the floors.

From my understanding, it helps bed bugs climb in but traps them when they are in the second ridge. Isthmus prevents new bedbugs from making their way into your mattress. This product actually works!! Found a few bed bugs here and there but haven't been bitten since I purchased this item along w/ mattress covers.

I do not have a problem with bed bugs plus my bed is latex/soy which helps too. I use it to keep fluids off the mattress for warranty purposes only. Whenever I travel I keep my luggage off the floor and away from the bed. I also check the bed too in the hotel room. I keep laundry lint sheets inside my luggage. (not sure if using these sheets will help in keeping them away)

I had bedbugs and those are the toughest to get rid off and it worked on those. I don't think it mentions those either. I still spray my entire house every 4-6 weeks just in case because after such time I did get bit again so I don't dare stop.

Don't know about bed bugs. When I first got it..it worked great repelling flies. But then it just stopped repelling anything.
