It didn't work anything like I thought it would. I had purchased three of them and only used one of them. I have two that I have not used and would like to return them but I have missed placed or threw out my receipt. Is there a chance I can still get my money back?

So far so good,, but I also hit it with powder and spray to triple threat these little devils. But overall, the mattress bag worked wonders, I would suggest though having extra packing tape to double duty seal it (the strips of tape they give aren’t enough to fully seal).

This is a waste of money do not purchase this product. They give you 5 stickers that are about 6-7 inches long to close the bag, and they don't really do a good job at sealing the bag in my opinion. They are difficult to apply if you try to do it yourself. I scrapped that idea and used about 50 or so spring loaded clothespins to help seal it better. I found a big bloated bed bug 5 days after, and another smaller one 8 days after that still running a round in the bag. I don't think the chemical tray/ insert that you put in does anything. I'm currently trying diatomaceous earth that I puffed into the bag with a big yellow garden type duster, because I want to see if it works as well.

    This product worked very well. However, I left my mattress in the bag much longer than the recommended time, so I don't know how well it would have worked in the lesser amount of time. I am extremely satisfied with this product.

      It did not work at all and therefore I had to throw away my mattress. I always had to rebomb my living quarter to prevent any eggs for maturing

          I bought this product from Home Depot. I bought two for my bed and box spring. So disappointed !!!!! I waste 34$. Could buy others more effective products.

            When treating........
            Keep in mind you must treat not just your mattresses, you must treat box springs, frames, foot/head boards, and furtniture in the room. You pretty much have to clean the whole room. From my research bedbugs can find there way into cracks/crevaces in walls, floorboards, window frames...etc. YOU MUST TREAT THE WHOLE ROOM USING MULTIPLE PRODUCTS.

              They're Alive!
              Doesn't even deserve 1 star... should be 0! Since it does NOT WORK! We followed the directions completely... actually no, we kept our mattress in the bags for TWO weeks, that is 14 days! (I think the instructions say 7) and before we took our mattress out of the bag we checked it thoroughly (since they are clear), and much to my dismay there were still living bed bugs moving around in there!!!! UGH! I just want these things gone. We bought mattress and box spring covers from Amazon that you just keep on forever, the bugs can't get out and eventually die. We very carefully transferred them from these stupid bags to the nice covers. So disappointed that we waisted our time and money on this! Just skip this and go straight to the covers you keep on.

              Worked
              I bought this product after seeing it in Home Depot and said why not. I treated the mattress and boxspring. Didn't work for the mattress as we still have bugs. They recommend not sleeping on the bed while these bags are on them. Okay that's all fine and dandy. I took the one off the mattress and left one on the boxspring. My daughter has fewer bites now. We also spray continuously also. If left on it could be a good product I suppose.
