How does this prevent bed bugs? You're not zipped in completely so they could still crawl in from top or even bite through from underneath.

It is a sack, you get in from the top. Used it all through Europe, no bedbugs. It is kinda hard to get out in a hurry in the middle of the night. I was very happy with it. It folds up small

You are in a sack so you are completely surrounded by the microfiber barrier.

It doesn't and anyone who thinks it does is completely clueless about bedbugs. If they're there, they'll find you. Saying you've used this in your travels and didn't encounter bedbugs simply indicates you didn't stay anyplace where bedbugs were present. You might as well say you've never been struck by lightning while using this so it protects you from lightning.+

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.

If you zoom in on the picture you can see where there are small areas for spider or bugs to get it. It is not air tight. It has not happened to us..so far so good. The top sits in a groove so it is not easy to get off. My son is 2 1/2 and we have to remove it for him. He loves it! Always asks us to play with his sandbox! We love the cover because we have a lot of neighborhood cats (including our own). Hope that helps.

Hi! The cover goes around the closet and rippers from the bottom to the top with a top flap, but bugs can go under the bottom rack and get inside. I don't have problems with moths/bugs. When you think about it, if you open a closet door there's a chance that one could get inside. It's a chance you take. I love this closet because at least it closes all around and very sturdy and that the bottom rack is open so that your clothes could still be airy and not sweat. If your worried about moths/bugs then put a unscented bug repellant that you can hang inside the closet. I know you didn't want all the other information, but it's a beautiful and sturdy closet that I bought two and NO bugs. Good luck! Hi!

Great! I didn't realize that. I will have to look into that further too. It does help keep the bugs away.

I also had a real bad case. This works great! From the Orkin guy: you need to make sure you get ALL the crevices in and around the bed (including nightstand), baseboards and especially on both sides of the cording on the mattress. Once I did that, no more bed bugs! If you see them again within two weeks, you didn't find all the hiding places. Spray again.

Wow, this is a flea product, I have no idea why you would think it would prevent bed bugs. Sorry!!

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 don't think that they would help with bed bugs. They simply trap bugs that try to walk through them.

It unzips around front of neck, so you don't have to have it on But it doesn't comecompletely off. I am wondering if it works for bed bugs and spiders?

Try Hot Shot. I was staying with a friend and they had them. I spent money on this product. It did not help at all. I still got bit. Also watched the bugs crawl as if nothing was there. As the $30 no chemical solution was a waste to. They actually became immune to it. Bst bet from my friend who owned a store is to but Hot shot bombs for bed bugs. I know hey sell them at Walmart. Also I worked in a hotel and besides using expensive heat treatment us houseman had to steam mattresses with an iron which is very effective.

Hi! It goes on top on top of the your regular mattress and it has a cool cover. All of it goes under your bed sheets. You can make it work with deep pocket sheets. I have deep pocket ones and some regular ones and both work just fine. Sometimes you have to stretch it but the regular sheets work and stay in place as well. I love it!

I beleive it would be highly unlikely that the bed bug is capable of climbing "back up the bed" if they fall into the "mote" portion of the tray.I buy that popular powder on the market thar kills the bugs and lay down a bead of it in the mote area of the "climbup" tray.

I would guess the ball is around a foot high. If your bed is low it won't get under it. Plus the vacuum won't go completely flat. The wand with the tiny vacuum attachment works great for this though.

If you leave the doors unzipped they can crawl in. Once you have both doors zipped up the TeePee tent is sealed up. No bugs can get in. I agree with the outdoors man buy some good tent stakes. The kind that look like big nails with the plastic hook like thing on top. The stakes they give you with the TeePee tent are (excuse my language) crap.

I suppose it offers some protection but it does not fully enclose the mattress like a zippered mattress would, so my guess is protection is limited.

I do not know the answer to your question as I do not have bed bugs. Is this because of the Encase??? I do not know. I can tell you that I am pleased with it and believe it is a superior product to any others I researched.That is my opinion. I hope I have answered your question for you. Ron. P, Surprise, AZ.
