Meet the Nasty Critters Living Inside Your Mattress

Did you know that the very mattress you count on each night for a good night's sleep could be crawling with some pretty nasty critters? According to a CNN report, the mattress can be a jungle of dust mites and bedbugs, milling around among dried remnants of blood, saliva, sweat and basically all the other bodily fluids you can think of.

Bedbugs have become minor celebrities this week with a report from the National Pest Management Association showing that the problem is on the rise. "Bedbug calls have gone up by 81 percent since 2000, the study said, and 67 percent of surveyed pest management companies have treated bedbug infestations in hotels or motels.

These insects are about a quarter-inch long and eat at night, said Howard Russell, entomologist with diagnostic services at Michigan State University. Impressively, while humans can live only a matter of weeks without food, bedbugs can live up to one year without eating -- and their meals consist of blood." 

Gator Clean has the solution to these and other issues hiding out in your mattress, like mold, petrochemicals, and VOC's - definitely not the stuff that dreams are made of. Respiratory issues, skin problems, and allergic reactions are associated with these toxins in your mattress and they are known carcinogens.

It is important to have your mattress professionally deep cleaned by Gator Clean at least once every year to insure you and your family are truly getting a good night's rest.
