10 Things to Know to ActiveGuard

You can’t stop bed bug introductions, but you can stop them from becoming infestations. Here are 10 things to know about how ActiveGuard can help.

1. Labeled for prevention

ActiveGuard’s label states the liner works as a preventative tool for bed bug infestations when used as part of an IPM program. This allows the product to be used in absence of the target pest.

 

2. Long-term strategy

ActiveGuard prevents infestations for two full years once installed. ActiveGuard, as the last step of your bed bug strategy, allows you to lengthen your service warranty while limiting callbacks.

 

3. Prevents infestations

ActiveGuard works by inhibiting a female bed bug from laying its eggs by restricting blood meal intake. ActiveGuard is the only product that outlasts the life cycle of a bed bug.

 

4. Recurring revenue potential

Optimal use of ActiveGuard requires replacement every 24 months, providing a predictable stream of reoccurring revenue.

 

5. Easy upsell opportunity

ActiveGuard is an easy upsell opportunity for non-bed bug related jobs. Since it is labeled for prevention, ActiveGuard can be sold to a client that is not presently experiencing bed bugs but is seeking prevention.

 

6. Field durability

ActiveGuard works even when ripped or torn, making it nearly maintenance-free.

 

7. Perfect positioning

ActiveGuard is effective when installed on either a box spring or a mattress. The liner can be installed on either box spring or mattress, depending on the type of bed set. 85 percent of bed bugs are typically found within a 5-foot radius of the bed, making ActiveGuard’s placement ideal for addressing a bed bug introduction.

 

8. Easy to install

ActiveGuard can be installed by a single person. ActiveGuard’s zipperless design allows for simple installation — as easy as installing a fitted sheet!

 

9. Works discreetly

ActiveGuard has no odor and does not release any active ingredients. When placed on a mattress or box spring, ActiveGuard visually blends with the bedding.

 

10. Only four sizes are required

ActiveGuard comes in single/twin, double/full, queen and king mattress sizes. All sizes can stretch to fit extra long mattress lengths and up to 18 inches in depth. ActiveGuard liners simplify inventory control thanks to its limited number of SKUs.
