The Modern, Biological Solution

Aprehend® Works Differently

Unlike synthetic chemical pesticides that kill bugs on contact, Aprehend is a biopesticide made from a naturally occurring fungus called Beauveria bassiana.

How Aprehend Works

Trap. Transfer. Colony Kill. Result.

  1. 01

    The Trap

    A pest professional sprays a narrow, invisible 2-inch barrier around your bed frame, box spring, and baseboards.

  2. 02

    The Transfer

    When a bed bug crawls across this barrier to find a meal, microscopic fungal spores stick to its body like wet sand.

  3. 03

    The Colony Kill

    The infected bug walks back to its hidden nesting area and rubs against other bugs, spreading the fungus throughout the entire colony.

  4. 04

    The Result

    The fungus germinates and safely kills the bed bugs within 4 to 10 days, providing ongoing protection for up to 3 months.

Key Customer Advantages

Why Choose Aprehend®

Choosing Aprehend® offers significant benefits over traditional chemical extermination methods.

Destroys Hidden Colonies

Eliminates the bed bugs you cannot see by using infected bugs to carry the treatment back to their secret nesting areas.

Chemical-Free Peace of Mind

Uses a natural, non-toxic fungal biopesticide instead of harsh, synthetic chemical sprays inside your home.

Three Months of Continuous Protection

Keeps working long after application, protecting your home against missed bugs or new introductions for up to 90 days.

Zero Chemical Resistance

Prevents bugs from building immunity, a major issue with traditional chemical sprays that often fail.

Minimal Home Preparation

Requires very little prep work from you compared to traditional treatments, saving you hours of stressful packing and cleaning.

Odourless and Invisible

Leaves no unpleasant chemical smells or unsightly residue on your furniture, baseboards, or bedding.

Fact-Checking the Claims

What You Need to Know

Clear professional guidelines so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

No Vacating Required?

False

You must vacate the premises during the application and remain away for a minimum of 4 hours until the spray completely dries. This prevents anyone from breathing in the fine airborne mist while it is being applied.

No Preparation Necessary?

Mostly True

It requires "minimal prep" rather than "no prep". You do not have to empty your dressers, bag all your clean clothes, or move heavy furniture. However, you must strip the bedding to launder it on high heat and clear clutter off the floor so the technician can access the baseboards.

Safe for Chemical Sensitivity?

True

Because it is non-toxic, biological, and contains no harsh chemical insecticides, it is an excellent choice for individuals sensitive to traditional chemicals. It is entirely odorless.

Safe for Elderly, Newborns & Pregnancy?

True (With Caution)

Once the product dries completely after 4 hours, it is entirely non-toxic and safe for vulnerable individuals. However, official safety protocols dictate that pregnant women, newborns, and those with severe respiratory issues should consult a physician and consider waiting a bit longer before re-entering.

The "Minimal Prep" Checklist

Before the Technician Arrives

Before the technician arrives to apply Aprehend, you only need to complete these basic steps.

  • Strip the bed: Remove all sheets, pillowcases, and blankets.
  • High-heat laundry: Wash and dry the bedding on the highest heat setting for at least 40 minutes to kill any bugs actively on the sheets.
  • Clear the floors: Pick up items, toys, and clutter from the floors and from directly under the bed.
  • Protect pets: Remove pets from the home for 4 hours, cover fish tanks, and turn off air filters during spraying.

Quick Re-Entry Reminder

Vacate during application — return after 4 hours once dry.
