AMBLER, Pa. – Allergy Technologies LLC, a leading science-based manufacturer of innovative, effective, consumer-friendly pest control products, has been named a supply partner by Hilton Supply Management, the global supply chain partner for more than 6,000 properties, including Hilton and non-Hilton-branded hotels. Allergy Technologies is the manufacturer of ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners, the only EPA-registered, proactive product labeled to prevent bed bug infestations for two years. They are the first mattress liners to work against bed bugs – even new, more resistant strains. In hotel use for years, ActiveGuard-based preventive programs have proven to reduce infestations as much as 90 percent or more.
ActiveGuard liners kill bed bugs in or on mattresses and box springs and are effective in both active and preventive bed bug control strategies. Maintenance-free and non-disruptive to hotel operating efficiencies, the liners work 24/7 for two years protecting both guests and bedding from bed bugs. ActiveGuard comes in four bed sizes and are easily installed by one person.
Extensively evaluated in field studies, ActiveGuard’s ability to save hoteliers hundreds of thousands of dollars in operational expense while preserving brand reputation is well documented in “Do Not Disturb,” an editorial by Jeff Fenner in the June 15, 2016 PCT Magazine Bed Bug Supplement. In a large convention hotel that is part of a major brand hotel chain, ActiveGuard installed on box springs facility-wide (1,600 rooms) was successful in preventing infestations over a two-year period while providing protection against potential bed bug related litigation.
“Bed bugs are a pest that notoriously plague properties with high client turnover, which makes proactively addressing the bed bug resurgence even more critical for hotels,” added Joseph Latino, President of Allergy Technologies. “The financial benefits of preventing bed bugs are clear: reducing operational expenses, increasing hotel revenues, preserving the hotel’s reputation, enhancing guest confidence and reducing legal liability.”
Allergy Technologies offers the only performance guarantee against bed bugs when using ActiveGuard to prevent infestations. For a period no longer than two years from the time of purchase, if one or more bed bugs are found in contact with an ActiveGuard Mattress Liner and continue to be alive after seventy-two hours of contact, Allergy Technologies will either replace the liner at no cost to the property or reimburse the property for their purchase price of the liner.
