Product Review: BugZip
If there is one thing I absolutely can’t stand, it is bugs. Any kind of bugs. Especially bed bugs. *shudder* Bed bugs are a big issue with hotels, motels, and even when purchasing things like mattresses, sofas, etc that are used. They are very difficult to get rid of and require a lot of hard work and patience if you are going to get rid of them. Not a very fun thing at all!
Hotels and motels, usually seedy ones, are the most common places you’ll find bed bugs, although it is possible to have an infestation of them in your home or building – so anyone can have bed bugs. The key to not having them: prevention! You have to prevent yourself from getting the bed bugs in the first place. How do you do that?
Well, you could use bed bug products such as the ones provided by BugZip. They have a wide range of products ranging from BugZip luggage encasements to mattress encasements to bed bug monitors. They even have dissolving laundry bags so you can wash your clothes to prevent bringing bed bugs home with you on them and small “PackTite” heaters that allow you to put non-washables into and heat them up to kill bed bugs but not ruin the items. Very smart. 
Please don’t think that just looking over your hotel or motel rooms will be good enough. These bugs are sneaky – they hide inside of mattresses, sofas, stuffed chairs, etc, and cannot be seen. A room may look spotless, but can still have bed bugs!
Recently the fine folks at BugZip sent me four of their luggage encasements to try. I received a garment bag, large suitcase bag, medium suitcase bag, and drawer liner. I have to admit, I am not a traveler. I usually get ill when I travel, so I don’t do it often. However, after my recent eviction from my apartment (not even getting into that) I am finding that I have a lot of stuff to go into a storage unit. Some of these items are items bugs would love to get into. Bed bugs, roaches, whatever, these bugs are looking to get into my stuff. I’m talking about yarn, afghans I’ve crocheted, things like that. So I’m using the BugZip bags to keep the bugs out of my stuff in the storage unit. Let me tell you – they work! I’ve found bugs in boxes of stuff that are in the unit, but there’s nothing in those BugZip bags. It is a huge relief to know that my stuff is safe from bugs inside those bags. I highly recommend these bags for anyone who needs to protect something from bugs – whether it be bed bugs at hotels or bugs in a storage unit – these bags have you covered!
