Product Review: Allersearch ADMS Anti-Dust Mite Spray

Posted under allergies & pest control

For many people, especially when spring rolls around, allergies will hit – and hit hard.

During these periods, the simple act of falling asleep can be a chore; sneezing, sniffling, snoring, insomnia… and quite often you won’t even know that such things are causing you to get stressful sleep. You’ll toss and turn and snort and sniffle, and in the morning you’re still dog-tired.

Figuring out how to end these problems starts with figuring out what’s causing them, and in the bedroom, there are no end of things that can clog your sinuses and make life miserable.

One of those factors that are often overlooked is dust mites: Microscopic little creatures that can’t be seen by the naked eye are everywhere, and if you’re using an old pillow, or haven’t beaten your mattress for a while, chances are your sleeping area will be covered in them. For most people, that’s not a problem, but if you’re already on the edge with your breathing, it can make life hard.

Thankfully, there are online stores such as AllergyBeGone, where you can buy an amazing number of allergy-reducing sleep products, from pillow encasings, comforters, mattress pads, and one of their big
sellers is an anti-dust mite spray called Allersearch ADMS.

For less than $20 per 32oz spray bottle (it’s $16.49 at the time of writing), you get a product that is non-staining, destroys allergens on contact, contains no tannic acid or benzyl benzoate, treats up to 600 sq. ft. of your home, lasts up to 30 days, is safe for people, pets, and the environment, and can be used safely on all water-safe surfaces.

Just spray it on to your bedding, carpeting, pillows, mattresses and/or furniture, and the dust mites are done for.

AllergyBeGone has other products to help battle dust mites, as well as a wide range of equipment such as air-humidifers, mold control products, gas masks, vacuums, cleaning supplies – even aromatherapy products – at prices that our testers found to be among the best available.

Allersearch, and AllergyBeGone as a supplier of same, gets a 4 out of 5 star rating from Bed2U.

Product Review: Silentnight Latex Comfort Mattress

Posted under bed bugs & children's beds & mattresses & pest control & safety

Having a quality mattress isn’t just a luxury. Considering that over your lifetime you might spend the equivalent of almost forty years in bed, possessing a quality mattress is a necessity . Good mattresses do not come cheap however and if you’re like me, purchasing a new mattress is an infrequent event. If you have a good mattress and take care of it, it can last as long as a decade. In that time, however, even a good mattress can become harmful to you.

When you crawl under the covers every night, you’re getting into bed with approximately two million nasty little spider-like creatures called dust mites. These mites aren’t the only things defiling your mattress. You leave behind dead skin and perspiration every morning. This combined with the mites and a decade of use could result in allergies and hypersensitivity related diseases.

So what are you going to do, if you’re unable to replace your mattress every two years? Latex.

Latex is inherently anti-microbial and mite resistant. The Silentnight Latex Comfort Mattress has a layer of natural latex over its ultra-supportive microcoil spring system. What does all of this mean?

Well, now you have a mattress that could last for ten years and not endanger your health. Besides this, there are other advantages to Silentnight’s Latex Comfort Mattress.

As mentioned before, the microcoil system provides more support than other conventional mattresses, because the springs run from the head to the foot of the mattress. This prevents "roll off" and "roll together", a good thing if you don’t want to end up on the floor or sandwiched against your sleeping partner. This system also isolates movement, so you can get out of bed without waking your partner.

The research team at Silentnight are also very aware your Posture Zone (the area in which you sleep) and have added extra springs where necessary in the Latex Comfort Mattress to provide greater more effective support.

Latex provides the ultimate comfort over the microcoil system’s unfailing support. It moulds around your contours, allowing your body to relax into a naturally restful posture and comfortably holds you in that position.

There is a price to pay for all this comfort and it’s a bit of an investment, but if you amortise the cost over a decade of sleeping bliss, I’m sure you will feel that you’ve spent your money well.

In the UK, we recommend you get your Latex Comfort Mattress from Sleeping Solutions, the online presence of the renowned Sussex Beds chain. They stock quality products and have a reputation for looking after customers.

How to get rid of bed bugs!

Posted under bed bugs & bed frames & mattresses & pest control

Are bed bugs biting you at night? Though it’s hard to see them, bed bugs leave evidence behind – if there are mysterious brownish spots and stains on your bed sheets or you wake up to itchy bites on your body, you might be dealing with some irksome pests.

However, there are some basic steps to getting rid of bed bugs.
Bed bugs get their names because they are practically nocturnal, and during the daytime, they like to chill out in the tiny crevices of your bed.

They can live for months to years without feeding, so if you’re facing an infestation of bed bugs, they won’t leave unless you make them. But how can you shoo those obnoxious bed bugs away?

The first step is to create a barrier around your bed. Bed bugs don’t fly or jump, they can only crawl. Keep them from crawling on and off your bed as best you can. What can you create this barrier with?

You will need the pros at Diactect for that. They have a variety of bed bug killing products to choose from, products you can apply right on your bed frame and mattress!

For instance, RESULTS powder can treat your bed and room and, in fact, any part of your house; it’s a perfect barrier between you and those tiny critters.

Without high quality help, it’s virtually impossible to prevent bed bugs from taking over your home, so rather than track them down with a flashlight, scare them away with Diatect’s pest control products.
