A mattress encasement is a zip-up cover that wraps the whole mattress or base. It closes off the seams and piping where bed bugs like to sit, so any bugs already inside are shut in and new ones have fewer places to settle. The crew we book can measure and fit encasements for beds in homes across Brisbane.
Encasements are often fitted after a treatment, but they also help after a clear inspection, mainly in share houses, guest rooms and homes where people travel often. The smooth outer surface makes it easy to spot any bed bugs, eggs or dark spots when you change the sheets, so a problem shows up early rather than months later.

An encasement should stay on and zipped for many months, so the fit matters. A cover that is too loose can snag and tear, and one that is too tight can split at the zip. The crew checks the size before fitting and shows you how to spot a small tear, which can be patched with tape until a new cover goes on. Pillow encasements can be added in the same visit if you would like the whole bed covered.
Encasement fitting can be booked on its own, added to an inspection, or added to a treatment visit. It suits single, double, queen and king beds in Brisbane, including bunk beds in kids rooms and share houses. Call 07 3543 7767 for upfront pricing and to check sizes before the visit.
