A mattress bag assembly includes a bag that is selectively be positioned around a mattress. A first barrier unit is coupled to the mattress to pose an obstacle for the bed bugs thereby requiring the bed bugs to crawl over the first barrier unit. The first barrier unit includes a first adhesive to adhere to the bed bugs when the bed bugs crawl over the first barrier unit. Thus, the bed bugs are inhibited from accessing a person lying on the mattress. A second barrier unit is coupled to the mattress to pose an obstacle for the bed bugs thereby requiring the bed bugs to crawl over the second barrier unit. The second barrier unit includes a second adhesive to adhere to the bed bugs when the bed bugs crawl over the second barrier unit. Thus, the bed bugs are inhibited from accessing a person lying on the mattress.

An insect restriction system for inhibiting insects from contaminating fluid in a container includes a container that contains a fluid. The container has an opening and a spout is positioned in the opening. A bulb is provided and the bulb is removably positioned on the spout. In this way the bulb inhibit insects from entering the spout to access the fluid.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed, inter alia, to novel methods for producing substrates and articles of manufacture that possess a passive barrier to the passage of crawling insects and the related substrates and articles of manufacture. An exemplary article of manufacture can be a pet food bowl, a pet food container, a kitchen cupboard, a trash receptacle, a garbage receptacle, a foundation of a structure, a bee hive, a bird feeder, a plate, a bowl or a pedestal suitable for cake, cupcakes or other food item. The crawling insects can be, for example, an ant (leaf eater, Argentine, carpenter, pharaoh, fire), a spider, a cockroach, a bed bug, termites, an aphid, an arthropod, a tick, a flea, a silver fish, a thrip, a gnat, an aphid, a Japanese beetle, a beetle (potato and bean), a flea beetle, a fleahopper, a squash bug, a slug, a leaf hopper, a harlequin bug, a milk weed bug, a mite, a louse, a scorpion, a millipede, a centipede or a gypsy moth.

Systems and methods for minimizing phorid fly infestation in cemetery mausoleum buildings are provided. An insecticide can be applied to electrostatically charged screens, which can be shaped to fit various openings in mausoleum buildings, including openings comprised by windows, crypt vents, roof vents, and floor drains. Standalone units can also be installed having insecticide applied electrostatically charged screens. The screens can be placed to interrupt the phorid fly mating and egg-laying process to limit or prevent phorid fly infestation in mausoleum buildings.
