Veteran entomologist Rick Cooper had never actually seen a live bed bug until 1999. Since then, bedbugs have turned into a full-time job for his pest management company.

"I would say it's spinning out of control," says Cooper.

Indeed, Orkin Pest Control reports that bed bug infestations are now surging in all 50 states, and MSNBC reports that bed bugs are even showing up in new mattresses!

Sometimes new mattresses are stored in warehouses with refurbished, contaminated mattresses, allowing for the transference of bed bugs.

To protect your mattress from these blood-sucking critters, cover it with impenetrable Allergy Armor™.

And be careful when you're buying a new mattress! Make sure it hasn't been stored in a warehouse that could be contaminated. (You'll never encounter that problem if you purchase a Royal-Pedic mattress - because each one is custom-built!)
