Aprehend bed bug effectiveness.

The aprehend technology is based on the use of a fungal biopesticide which is highly effective against bed bugs according to research conducted by scientists at penn state. Bed bugs are small nocturnal insects that feed on blood. They will kill any bed bugs that come in direct contact with the spray but the likelihood of a spray reaching all bed bugs and their eggs is very low. Our results show that aprehend is just as effective three months after application as it was the day after spraying.

Aprehend has a unique mode of action and should be applied in narrow 2 spray barriers to target bed bugs as they emerge from their harborages. Proactive treatment due to its excellent long term activity aprehend will provide three months protection from the establishment of bed bug infestations. Due to their cryptic nature bed bugs are extremely difficult to target by direct spray application. It works as a long lasting barrier spray.

A critical feature of any bed bug pesticide is the length of time that the spray residue remains effective. The spray residue remains effective for up to three months so unlike chemical insecticides only one application is required to treat an infestation.
