Aller-Ease Bed Bug Luggage Liner, Carry-On, Small

I purchased this suitcase liner after doing quite a bit of research. This is an amazing product that is very well built of adequate fabric, zips all the way and is quite resistant to begbug intrusion. This product, coupled with a sensible strategy can really help, I mean, this product protects everything inside the suit. I will explain how to use these more effectively and in combination with a travel strategy to prevent bedbugs.

With that said, I must admit that I am personally disgusted and concerned about bedbugs as I had a friend who got them in a nice hotel (of all places) and it ended up costing him $3 grand to get rid of them in his house, not to mention, his wife developed panics while sleeping of fear that bedbugs are attacking her (despite them now being gone). A real nightmare. Plus there is the disgusting factor of being bitten by tons of blood-sucking bugs and waking up full of nasty red bites and itches. I can tolerate a lot of disgusting things (palmetto bugs, roaches, ants, alien movie vermin, etc etc), but bugs in my BED (a sacred place)... NO WAY! I rather go to war to prevent these in my home at all costs.

With that said, I decided to do 3 things to try and block bedbugs from "hitching a ride" while in a hotel (and plane too):

1) I donated my old suitcases and bought two of these Jeep hard-shell suitcases (they make it much harder for bedbugs to get inside, since they only have the zipper area to be able to "hitch a ride". Jeep Battalion 28" Hardside Spinner

2) I purchased an anti-bedbug spray called JT Eaton 208-W6Z Bedbug Control For Luggage And Mattresses, 6-Ounce Spray Bottle (which I will review shortly, that the active ingredient seems to be proven at PREVENTING bedbugs from getting into your stuff). I zipped up the suitcases 2 days before my trip and soaked the outer zipper in my Jeep suitcases with this spray. Because I keep ALL my clothes and personal items in the zipped suitcases (along with zipped Aller-Ease luggage liner) when I travel, this is a very effective strategy (despite the added work of literally living off a suitcase).

3) I also use a free app called "Roscoe's Tips" (bedbugs) to remind me while in a hotel where to check for bedbugs. Keep in mind that the "bed" in bedbug is not really a correct term. They can hide in headrests, and all sorts of areas close to the bed. The idea is to learn from articles and then when you get to hotel, before you do anything, you check for bedbugs. I always bring a good small flashlight with me to check for bedbugs and pull out everything off the bed (sheets, pillowcases, lift up mattress, etc) and check around bed area for any signs of bedbugs.

And while you are staying at the hotel, I keep ALL my clothes and personal items in the zipped up suitcases when I travel, this is a very effective strategy (despite the added work of literally living off a suitcase). I mean you have to want to do this for this to be effective. For example: using the Aller-Ease only and not spraying the suitcase zipper and keeping it zipped up during your travels can allow a bedbug to slip into the suitcase (outside the liner) and just stay there until you get home. That is who the disaster can strike.

All my luggage items (no exceptions, so shoes have to be bagged inside plastic bags and I bring 2 large black trash bags for dirty clothes, as they will have to go back home inside liner too with remaining clean clothes) are placed inside the anti-bedbug suitcase liner and zipped up all the way. Then I zip up my Aller-Ease Bed Bug Proof Luggage Liner (make sure you get the LARGE one, as other sizes make no sense and are way too small) and keep everything inside that. This helps me keep my belongings safe from bedbugs, in a layered system.

Then finally, when I get home, dirty clothes go from liner to washer and dryer and clean clothes brought back are all placed inside dryer in high heat for 20 mins. The Aller-Ease liner is washed and dried as well. That way any bedbug "hitchhikers" get killed. And to end it all, before I put my suitcases away, I spray the empty INSIDE of the suitcase with the JT Eaton product and put it away. This ensures no bugs managed to somehow get it.

Overall, this is a comprehensive strategy which includes 3 products (Jeep suitcases, JT Eaton spray and the Aller-Ease liner) and a bit of work when at the hotel, but it seems to have worked, as I don't have any bedbug problems or worries when I get back home.

As I said, this product works well and I totally recommend it.

Item fit in my carry-on bag, although it was a little large for the bag it wasn't so big that I couldn't use it. The price was nice and the bag was well made. I don't thing the room I was in had any bed bugs but it was reassuring that I had prepared for that case. It is worth just the extra insurance and peace of mind.

this liner fit nicely in my carry on luggage case, but the zipper broke after one wash. considering the zipper is essential for the purpose of this liner, I am very disappointed.

I got this for my husband, who travels to different cities in multiple states every single week for work. He got bitten by bed bugs at one of the motels he stayed recently, and although he managed to not bring any home, I got this as a preventive measure in case it happens again. He had to throw out everything on his way home, and this will at least save all his clothes and belongings.
