Aprehend Biological Bed Bug Control
A Safe Alternative to Chemical Bed Bug Treatments
Aprehend is a biopesticide specifically designed for bed bug control. It contains a naturally occurring fungus called Beauveria bassiana, which is pathogenic to bed bugs.
Quick Facts
– Only one application is usually required.
– Effective for up to 3 months.
– Contains no chemicals and is odorless.
How Aprehend Works
What It Does: When bed bugs come into contact with the Aprehend spray, the fungal spores attach to their bodies. The fungus then germinates and penetrates the bed bug’s cuticle (outer shell), eventually killing it.
How It Spreads: Infected bed bugs can spread the fungal spores to other bed bugs through direct contact. This increases the overall effectiveness of the treatment, as it can lead to a cascading effect where many bed bugs become infected and die.
How Long It Lasts: The treatment remains effective for up to three months, providing prolonged protection against bed bug infestations.
Application
Professional Use: As an Aprehend Bed Bug Control Professional, Akita Pest Control is authorized to apply the product using a specialized spray applicator.
Treatment Areas: The biopesticide is sprayed in areas where bed bugs are likely to travel, such as the perimeter of mattresses, box springs, and furniture, as well as baseboards and cracks where bed bugs hide.
Safe for Use: Aprehend is considered safe for use around humans and pets when applied according to the label instructions. It utilizes a natural biological agent rather than synthetic chemicals.
Advantages of Aprehend Over Other Bed Bug Treatments
Non-Toxic

Effective
Typically, only one treatment with Aprehend is needed to eliminate a bed bug infestation.
Minimal Resistance
Bed bugs are less likely to develop resistance to biological agents compared to chemical pesticides.
