What are BugZip Luggage & Clothing Encasements?

The BugZip is a heavy-duty vinyl encasement that is specially designed to prevent bed bugs from infesting your luggage as you travel place to place. The product works by encasing luggage, garment bags, cloths and personal items and forming a physical barrier between the encased item and bed bugs—thereby reducing the chances of bed bugs infesting items within the encasement.

Because the BugZip is available in a variety of sizes, it can be used both for encasing luggage containers or protecting smaller personal for storage in dressers.

Why do you need BugZip?
Luggage and clothing encasements such as the BugZip can be used as an important resource for frequent travelers as well as individuals currently experiencing an infestation. If utilized in the appropriate fashion, the BugZip will be a valuable preventative measure in the following areas:

Frequent travelers- The BugZip is an essential tool for travelers such as business road warriors, vacationers and college students. The luggage and garment bag encasements will play an important role in helping prevent the infestation of personal items. It is recommended that once travelers reach their hotel or residential destination they unpack the BugZip and encase their garment bags or luggage before entering their room. This will reduce the chances of bed bugs infesting your luggage while you settle into the room.  

The BugZip is important for college students that have or suspect they have an infestation and are returning home. The encasement is a helpful preventative measure for reducing the likelihood of spreading the pest throughout your residence. In these circumstances, use of a PackTite™ and GreenClean™ can also be appropriate.

Home use application- The BugZip can also be an important tool for protecting personal items in residences experiencing an infestation or undergoing bed bug treatments. The dresser-liner encasement is suitable for protecting small personal items such as clothing, electronics, cosmetics and other items that you want stored away in small locations. These encasements can also help protect against dust, allergens and moths.

Advisory: It is important to note the BugZip can help protect items stored within the encasement but will not prevent the transportation of bed bugs. Based on the BugZip’s function, there is strong indication that the encasement will assist in protecting items in an infested dwelling. However there is insufficient data to comment on how effective BugZip is for home use applications.
