3. Central Concept
An active mattress liner (ActiveGuard®) can prevent a future infestation before it establishes; an encasement has no such ability!

4. ActiveGuard® How does it work?
Brief 10 minute contact causes initial sublethal effect(s)
Rapid absorption (uptake) of permethrin
98% reduction in female bed bugs dropping eggs
Majority of bed bugs do not feed to repletion
Eventual mortality
Residual Activity vs. Sustained bioavailability
Traditional residuals suffer from diminishing efficacy over time and limited product lifespan
ActiveGuard provides constant impact; continual initial knockdown effect for two years

5. Active Mattress Liners versus Encasements
Active mattress liners are a uniquely formulated impregnated polyester fabric with 1.64% permethrin providing sustained bioavailability
These liners actively kill bed bugs, including re-introductions and re-emergences, and prevents new infestations for up to 2 years. Easy to install and work regardless of ripping and tearing
Both remove the mattress and box spring as a harborage point for bed bugs and salvage the use of serviceable bedding
Encasements kill bed bugs through starvation over a long period of time; often require more than one person to install; and, easy to damage

7. ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners Features
ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners are the only registered pro-active strategy for preventing a potential bed bug infestation before it establishes
Superior to any other bed covering alternative, ActiveGuard helps protect your customer and their bedding assets by actually killing bed bugs!
The only bedding product to provide active 24/7 protection against bed bugs, on both mattresses and box springs
Cutting edge research demonstrates that within only 10 minutes of contact, bed bugs tend not to feed and females do not drop their eggs, resulting in fewer bites and highly significant population control
Kills bed bugs and dust mites continuously for up to two years, providing protection against any adult, juvenile or bed bug eggs that may be introduced into a room
Extensively lab and field tested, ActiveGuard’s dust mite killing ability also helps provide a hypo-allergenic bedding environment
The perfect solution when implementing a preventative strategy; a cost-effective approach when targeting high-risk dwellings
Thin and breathable, these liners are easily installed onto mattresses and box springs - even on California king-sized and XL mattresses
Effective when installed over encasements and under mattress pads
Available in four sizes that fit most mattresses and box springs
Never needs repair for rips or tears; continues to work even if torn
Maintenance-free and is fire-retardant
Made from strong polyester netting, ActiveGuard is odorless, quiet and comfortable to sleep on

14. “Are they effective and would you recommend them?"
Hotel Testimonial – 2013
Upon query from a small Bed and Breakfast owner seeking information on ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners… 
“Are they effective and would you recommend them?"
“We have had them on our mattresses for three years (replacing them all after their two year expiration) and have had no confirmed bed bugs. I sleep better at night knowing that they are on the mattresses. I spent quite a bit of time researching this prior to purchasing and became a believer. Frankly I am not sure why ActiveGuard has not been recognized as the only solution for the problem.”
