ORANGE GUARD IS ENDORSED BY BUNKBEDS.NET FOR RELIABLE AND SAFE BED BUG CONTROL

Carmel Valley, Calif. - December 8, 2011 - "In this day and age, with all the technical advances pushed upon us as consumers, it is difficult at times to search through all the proper information and figure out what products are safe and which ones are just being listed as "safe". Nowadays we are going to have to have a clear definition of what safe really means and then define it on our own terms. Especially when children and pets are concerned.

After exhaustive research and looking at all of the products available for bug control, we at bunkbeds.net came to the conclusion that Orange Guard is 100% safe to use on kids bunk beds. This is the only product that we can ethically endorse based on our own research efforts.

Bedbugs have become a nationwide concern and new outbreaks occur on a regular basis. They are perhaps the hardest bug to track down and eradicate. Most people will have to end up calling in a professional exterminator to get rid of the problem, and in many cases it will require follow-up visits to make sure that re-infestation does not occur. Bedbugs seek out small cracks and hidden holes to live in. Many companies nowadays actually use sniffer dogs to help locate the bedbugs in a bedroom. They may be hiding in the cracks of the floor, dressers, walls and of course parts of the bed.

We recommend applying Orange Guard to all of the beds in the home, especially any that are being occupied by children. We specialize in kids bunk beds and understand the commitment to safety that needs to be in place where children are concerned. Children are our future and need to be protected from toxic concerns that are present both now and in the future.

During our investigation into safe pest control applications we were shocked to find out that the substances the government deem to be "safe" are not what our customers feel is safe, where their children and pets are concerned. The government is not able to keep up with the sheer volume of chemicals that need to be tested as they are introduced to the market. Until they are fully examined they cannot be listed as hazardous and many companies use chemicals that have not been fully tested yet. Also, once testing has been done, the results must show that the chemical can lead to a substantial illness before it receives a hazardous label.

While bedbugs are a concern for any parent, in the past it all came down to the lesser of two evils when choosing between using toxic chemicals or trying to prevent these nasty creatures from first entering the beds. Today, Orange Guard provides a safe alternative so that parents have a clear choice. The product uses all natural ingredients that really get the job done.

Make no mistake about it; bedbugs can cause chaos in a home. They can spread from one bedroom to the next like wildfire affecting all the inhabitants of the house. A sleeping child can awaken with small bites covering their body and suffer from intense itching until the bedbugs are removed and the swelling goes down. In some cases a child can react violently to bedbug bites due to an allergy. The next morning the parents can wake up with the same bites and the suffering goes on and on until the exterminator arrives.

As a company that deals with parents and their concerns for their children’s safety on a daily basis, we at bunkbeds.net need to have full confidence when endorsing any product and do not take this responsibility lightly. We have found that Orange Guard is a safe and effective product that can be sprayed onto kids bunk beds to help in the prevention of bedbugs."
