\"\"<\/a>Buying a new mattress is a costly endeavor for most people.\u00a0 Nothing can be more frustrating than making a major purchase, only to find out a short time later that you have an unwelcome intruder that has moved into your home as a result of the expensive investment.\u00a0 Many people across the United States have unwittingly had bed bugs brought to their home along with their new mattress.\u00a0 The resulting bed bug infestations<\/a> can be very frustrating as mattress retailers are slow to take the blame for the bed bug infestation and in most cases; the cost of eradicating the little monsters falls upon the consumer.<\/p>\n

Many local and nationwide mattress retailers offer take-away mattress service when they deliver new mattresses to consumers.\u00a0 Old mattresses are placed alongside new mattresses in the delivery trucks without any thought given to protecting the new mattresses from bed bugs<\/a> or other contaminates.<\/p>\n

New Jersey bed bug infestations<\/a>, and those in other households around the US, can be avoided by doing a little research and requesting that a few extra precautionary steps be taken with your new mattress purchase.<\/p>\n

If you are buying your mattress locally, it\u2019s best to pick the mattress or box spring up directly to avoid cross contamination with bed bugs.\u00a0 If you have ordered your mattress or have decided to have it delivered to your home, it\u2019s important that you request that the mattress arrive completely wrapped and sealed in plastic, preferably in a box as well.\u00a0 You should inspect the box and plastic wrapping outside your door and off the delivery truck prior to it entering your home.\u00a0 If the plastic seal is not complete, you should not accept delivery of the mattress as you have a greater chance of cross contamination of bed bugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
