Aprehend is an effective formulation containing the spores of a fungal disease that is deadly to bed bugs.
How it works
When a bed bug comes into contact with a treated surface, the fungal spores stick to its feet and body and are taken back to its harborage. The spores transfer easily between bed bugs by direct contact, targeting bed bugs that do not leave the harborage.
After 24 hours, spores on the bed bug will germinate, like seeds, and penetrate directly through the cuticle of the bed bug. Once inside, the fungal disease grows in the blood system, killing the bed bug within 3-7 days.
Effective control of EXISTING infestations
​Aprehend eradicates existing bed bug infestations. Unlike chemicals, ​Aprehend usually requires only one application to provide long-term control and protection with minimal preparation or disruption to resident.

For PREVENTING infestations
Used as a quarterly treatment, Aprehend will prevent the establishment of infestations in hotel (or other) rooms. Bed bugs are attracted to the sleeping area and will attempt to establish colonies close to the source of a blood meal.
Strategic application of Aprehend around the rear perimeter of the headboard, base of the boxspring, bed skirt, and rear perimeter of night stands and picture frames will prevent the establishment of a bed bug colony. Quarterly reapplication will ensure year-round protection from bed bugs.
Strategic application
Aprehend is applied in narrow (2-inch) barriers in the areas where bed bugs will walk. The spray barrier has three-month residual activity.
Heat treatment
A single bed bug can avoid lethal temperatures and go on to re-establish an infestation. A single bed bug can avoid lethal temperatures and go on to reestablish an infestation.
Bed bugs do the work!
Fungal spores stick to the legs and body and are taken back to the harborage.
