Be aware that this method is effective only when the room has been treated for bed bugs earlier. This is a method that is more effective for prevention of bed bugs rather than for their removal.

If you plan to use the encasements, you can use them in two ways. You can put the encasements on for trapping live bugs inside so they will die, although you should know that bed bugs can survive for as long as a year without food. As an alternative, you can get your room treated for bed bugs before you actually use an encasement.
