Once you have found that the mattress is completely sealed, the plastic wrapping should be removed outside of your home and immediately discarded in case it harbors any hidden bed bugs or bed bug eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that bed bugs<\/a> are not attracted to mattresses per-say.\u00a0 Instead they are attracted to the humans that sleep on the mattress.\u00a0 New mattresses should not be infested with bed bugs unless something has gone horribly wrong.\u00a0 New mattresses can become infested when they come in contact with infested mattresses on a delivery truck or when infested mattresses are brought back to a warehouse instead of being taken to the dump.\u00a0 Many companies sell the used mattresses that they collect from consumers to other smaller companies who will \u201crefurbish\u201d them and then offer them for resale.\u00a0 This is another way that cross contamination of new mattresses can occur.<\/p>\n

Consumers have no control over what a company uses a delivery truck for.\u00a0 On one particular day, it could be used for deliveries only.\u00a0 On another, it could be used to take used furniture to the dump.\u00a0 Sadly, most companies are not knowledgeable about the transferring of bed bugs, so decontaminating delivery trucks is a rare occurrence.<\/p>\n

Some mattress and furniture retailers offer a special \u201cwhite glove delivery service\u201d as an option for deliveries to customers.\u00a0 When you choose this service, only new mattresses and furniture is delivered by the delivery company in a specific delivery truck.\u00a0 If you require take-away mattress service, a separate truck is ordered to come and remove the bedding.\u00a0 Reputable delivery companies guarantee that they do not exchange one type of delivery truck for the other.\u00a0\u00a0 If you are concerned about a New Jersey bed bug infestation<\/a> in your home, this is the type of service you should be requesting if you are considering purchasing a new mattress.<\/p>\n

Despite your best efforts to avoid it, you may still find yourself with a bed bug infestation <\/a>at some point in time. If you do, Allison Pest Control<\/a> is ready to help eradicate your NJ bed bug infestation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
