Not entirely because the bedbugs can infest the bedclothes and can even be found in the joints of the bed frame. Using a vinyl cover can prevent them from infesting the mattress if it is well sealed. It doesn't necessarily need to be air-tight because it will need to breathe but the vent holes need to be screened to prevent the insects from entering.

∙ 12y agoI just discovered an infestation and my mattress was wrapped in a plastic drop cloth and taped with wide clear tape.. we didn't see any evidence of bugs on the mattress, but since there was a small hole in the plastic we opted to throw it away and get another one. This new one we will put it in a mattress cover approved for bedbugs.. $29.00 at Wal-Mart, but it only takes on little egg to reinfest the whole room again... better safe than sorry.. this had been a night mare! We are reasonable sure we brought them home from a motel a couple months ago. We also considered the possibility of a childs stuffed animal we picked up at a yard sale. No more stuffed critters or dolls from yard sales for this household!
btw: our exterminator told us to be SURE and get a mattress cover that says approved for bedbugs.
This journey had been extremely expensive and horrifying!

∙ 12y agoNo, but it is a very good idea to get a bed bug mattress cover. You can even put one on your box spring, too. Mattresses and box springs are the most common places for beg bugs to hide. The covers will stop the bugs from getting into the mattress, and it will stop any that are already in there from getting out. They will eventually die in there. Creepy.

What is the best bed bug bag to use to kill them?
I wish there was a bag you could get them into but it would be like herding cats. The closest thing to a bag are mattress and pillow encasement's. With any encasement you just trap the bedbugs inside it. They can't get out and they can't bite you but if you have bedbugs that are hiding in places other than your mattress & box springs the encasement's can't protect you from them. After having the covers on for up to 18 months the bedbugs and their offspring will have died so you must leave those covers on without taking them off for at least that long.
