Aprehend Bed Bug Treatments

Effective & Eco-Friendly Bed Bug Spray

Aprehend ® is a groundbreaking biopesticide designed specifically to exterminate bed bugs. This natural fungal solution offers unmatched effectiveness for eradicating infestations and preventing reinfestations for up to three months. Aprehend bed bug treatments are a big improvement from traditional bed bug sprays.

The Science Behind Aprehend

Aprehend’s active ingredient, Beauveria bassiana, is a natural fungal pathogen that specifically targets insects. This innovative biopesticide has been proven effective in peer-reviewed studies:

• A 2020 study in the Journal of Economic Entomology confirmed Beauveria bassiana’s ability to infect and kill bed bugs through direct exposure and secondary transfer within nests.
• Environmental Entomology highlights the spores’ long-lasting efficacy, remaining viable for up to three months on treated surfaces.

These findings make Aprehend a scientifically-backed, eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments.

Key Benefits of Aprehend

• Prolonged Protection: Remains active for three months on treated surfaces.
  
• Eco-Friendly: A natural alternative to traditional chemical treatments.
  
• Cost-Effective: A practical substitute for expensive fumigation or gas treatments.

How to Prepare for an Aprehend Treatment

Being properly prepared for this treatment is critical for treatment success. Here are steps and measures that you should take to prepare your home and ultimately be ready for a Bed Bug Aprehend Treatment:

1. Sleep Normally: Keep sleeping in the affected areas to ensure bed bugs remain active. 
2. Declutter: Clear floors, especially under beds, and box up non-clothing items.
3. Treat Bedding: Wash and dry bedding and stuffed animals on high heat.
4. Point Out Non-Washables: Identify infested items that cannot be laundered.
5. Vacuum: Remove visible bugs to reduce their population before treatment.

Post-Treatment Instructions

1. Stay Out for 4 Hours: Allow the treatment to settle without interference.
2. Do Not Disturb: Avoid cleaning or using other chemicals on treated surfaces.
3. Monitor Behavior: Infected bugs may wander out; this is normal as the fungal spores take effect.

Prevent Bed Bug Reinfestations

To maintain a bed bug-free environment after an Aprehend treatment, follow these tips:

1. Use Protective Encasements: Invest in high-quality mattress and box spring encasements to prevent bugs from hiding in your bed.
2. Install Bed Bug Interceptors: Place interceptors under bed legs to catch any bugs trying to climb up.
3. Declutter Regularly: Reduce clutter to eliminate potential hiding spots.
4. Vacuum Frequently: Pay special attention to cracks, crevices, and upholstery.
5. Schedule Preventative Treatments: Consider quarterly Aprehend applications for high-risk homes or businesses.

Case Study: Tackling a Severe Apartment Infestation in Chicago
An apartment complex in Chicago faced a major bed bug problem that extended into the walls and baseboards. After the previous tenant left, the landlord unknowingly moved in new tenants, who quickly discovered the infestation. As a trusted bed bug exterminator in Chicago, we often encounter challenging infestations like this one, requiring innovative solutions. Using Aprehend alongside a baiting strategy with dry ice to mimic a human presence, we successfully lured the bed bugs out of hiding. Within a week, the infestation was fully eradicated, restoring the unit to a bed bug-free state.

Bed Bug Sprays vs. Aprehend

When dealing with bed bugs, understanding the differences between traditional bed bug sprays and Aprehend can help you make an informed decision. Both options aim to eliminate infestations, but they operate in very different ways.

Traditional Bed Bug Sprays

Over-the-counter and professional-grade bed bug sprays typically contain pyrethrins or synthetic chemicals designed to kill bed bugs on contact. These sprays may work well for small infestations or maintenance, but there are key limitations:

• Resistance: Many bed bug populations have developed resistance to common spray formulations, reducing their effectiveness.
• Short-Term Action: Most sprays provide limited residual activity, meaning reapplications are often necessary.
• Preparation Requirements: Sprays require extensive preparation to ensure adequate coverage and effectiveness.

Why Choose Aprehend?

Aprehend is a natural biopesticide using fungal spores to infect and eliminate bed bugs. Here’s why it stands out:

• Long-Lasting Residual Power: Aprehend remains effective for up to three months on treated surfaces, reducing the need for frequent applications.
• Overcoming Resistance: Unlike chemical sprays, Aprehend bypasses resistance issues by using a biological mode of action.
• Minimal Preparation: Compared to sprays, Aprehend requires less disruption to your living environment.
• Proactive Prevention: Aprehend is ideal for proactive quarterly treatments, particularly in commercial settings like hotels or apartments.
