Efficacy of a Novel Anti‑Bedbug Powder for Mattress Protection — E8 Intelligence Research

Discovered via YouTube Monitor: "Why Don't 5-Star Hotels Get Bedbugs Anymore? The $2 Powder Hidden In Every Mattress." (Oracle Prime) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik_Pun72ZMk A laboratory study showed that a low‑concentration powdered additive, when applied to mattress surfaces, eliminated bedbug colonies within 48 hours without damaging the fabric. Field trials in multiple hotels demonstrated a 95% reduction in infestations over a 12‑month period, suggesting a previously unknown, effective preventive technology.
