How the Process Works
We inspect your space to confirm infestation scope and location.
We apply Aprehend in targeted areas where bed bugs travel and hide.
Bed bugs contact the treated surfaces and carry the fungal spores back to their harborages.
The spores spread through the population, killing bed bugs over 3-7 days.
Residual protection continues for up to 3 months post-application.
Is Aprehend Right for Your Situation?
Ideal For:
- •Lower to moderate infestations
- •Clients who want a chemical-free (non-synthetic pesticide) option
- •Multi-unit properties where ongoing prevention is a priority
- •Situations where heat treatment isn't feasible
May Not Be the Best Fit:
- •Severe or long-standing infestations
- •Clients who want the fastest possible single-treatment resolution
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Aprehend safe for people and pets?
Yes. Beauveria bassiana is a naturally occurring fungus. It is not harmful to humans, pets, or other mammals. It targets insects specifically.
How long before I see results?
Bed bugs die within 3-7 days of contact with the treated areas. The full effect on the population develops over 1-2 weeks as the spores spread through the colony.
Does Aprehend replace heat treatment?
In some cases, yes. In others — particularly severe infestations — we recommend combining them. That's our Hybrid Treatment.
How long does the residual protection last?
Up to 3 months. This makes Aprehend a strong option for ongoing prevention in high-risk environments.
