Allergy Technologies, maker of ActiveGuard™ Mattress Liners, is partnering with the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), National Apartment Association (NAA) and the Association of College and University Housing Officials (ACUHO) to sponsor and participate in a National Bed Bug Workshop Tour slated for 15 cities between mid-April and late May.
Gus Carey, founder of Allergy Technologies and ActiveGuard, said he is proud to be partnering with NPMA and other trade associations to participate in the delivery of this national educational series, especially since education is a strong part of his Company’s mission.
“We place an extremely bold emphasis on education and we feel that it is an important aspect in developing a control strategy for bed bugs,” Carey said. “Probably 40 weeks a year we’re out delivering educational talks about bed bug control strategies to leading companies, associations and media in a variety of industries, so we’re very proud to be a part of NPMA’s workshop series.”
Through the partnership, Allergy Technologies is going to deliver a series of workshops across the country to educate property and housing managers on how they can effectively respond to the threat of bed bugs.
“The best way to effectively approach a bed bug treatment is to consider a variety of options, and ActiveGuard is always an important tool in that strategy” Carey said. “Through continued use in a variety of settings, ActiveGuard has become a solution that is relied upon by hotel owners and general managers, apartment owners and dwellers, colleges and universities, pest management professionals and more.”
Unlike encasements, ActiveGuard Mattress Liners are the first EPA-registered mattress and box spring covering that actually kill bed bugs dead within 72 hours of contact. Fashioned as a fitted sheet, these liners are available at through online retail distributors, from any pest management professional, and directly at www.allergytechnologies.com.
According to Carey, ActiveGuard’s participation in NPMA’s workshop series is the first of many workshops the Ambler, Pennsylvania-based Company will likely be a part of throughout the next year, especially as its product continues to gain significant adoption in various markets like universities, hotels, pest control, etc.
ActiveGuard mattress liners are a popular tool that pest management professionals are recommending to residential customers battling bed bugs. As part of a comprehensive bed bug control strategy for active infestations and as a standalone preventative tool, ActiveGuard is changing the landscape of available approaches to combat this pest.
“ActiveGuard is the ONLY pro-active preventative mattress liner that continuously kills bed bugs and can save consumers the cost of replacing mattresses and box springs,” said Carey. “Allergy Technologies partnering with NPMA, AHLA and other associations truly shows the importance of ActiveGuard as an integral tool for these industries.”
Originally developed as a natural extension of the globally used mosquito nets by a team of research entomologists[i] for use against dust mites, ActiveGuard is an effective tool that kills bed bugs in mattresses and box springs.
ActiveGuard mattress liners require no airborne sprays or powders. These breathable, comfortable thin liners can be installed onto a mattress or box spring by one person in less than a minute, and provide security that no other mattress covering or product can deliver.
ActiveGuard mattress liners also have been lab and field tested on a variety of bed bug strains by research entomologists[ii], one of very few products targeting bed bug control that can make this claim.
