Protect-A-Bed recently announced updates to its “BedBugs 101” app. Available for Apple iOS devices in the App Store, the newly re-designed BedBugs 101 “teaches you everything you never wanted to know about the critters living in your bed.”

Specifically, the app offers users a wide range of information about bed bugs and bed bug bites, such as what bed bugs are, what do bed bug bites look like (illustrated with detailed bed bug bite images), where bed bugs hide, their daytime and evening habits, bed bug images, as well as the unpleasant interaction bed bugs have with humans.

Designed not only for educating users and their children, BedBugs 101 offers a helpful resource for both the home, for travelers, as well as managers of hotels and B&B’s. Thanks to a wealth of actionable information, users can follow instructions on how to find bed bugs in the home and hotel rooms, how to correctly identify bed bugs and how to identify bed bug bites, how to prevent bed bugs from hitching a ride on luggage when traveling, as well as access effective solutions in the event a bed bug infestation is identified: how to get rid of bed bugs.

The updated app offers intuitive navigation, easy-to-follow instructions, plus helpful photos and diagrams.

“While people may disagree on the ideal firmness of a mattress, we all share a dislike for bed bugs,” said James Bell, CEO, Protect-A-Bed. “Unfortunately, bed bugs are very good at getting into your house, apartment, or hotel if you aren’t armed with the right information. This app is designed to provide the information you need about bed bugs, whether you’re at home or on the road.”

“The nice thing about this app is that it puts vital information in your pocket for easy access,” added John Rachid, President, Protect-A-Bed. “It offers a convenient reference for when you’re checking into a hotel room, boarding a plane, or identifying a potential issue in your home. Considering how widespread the problem of bed bugs is, we feel this app would be a welcome addition to any phone or tablet.”
