What’s Inside Aprehend®?
Aprehend® combines a naturally occurring fungal spore called Beauveria bassiana with an oil-based solution that sticks to the legs and bodies of bed bugs. When bed bugs come into contact with Aprehend®, they carry the spores back to their hiding spots, known as harborages, spreading the treatment to other bed bugs and effectively targeting the entire infestation.

Aprehend® Treatment Preparation Checklist
Ensure you are fully prepared for an effective Aprehend® treatment by following this detailed checklist:
Pre-Treatment Preparation
1. Inspect and Identify
- Identify and document all infested areas.
- Focus on common bed bug hiding spots: mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, baseboards, and furniture.
2. Declutter and Organize
- Remove any clutter from the floor and infested rooms to provide clear access for treatment.
- To prevent re-infestation, launder bed linens, clothing, and other soft items on high heat and store them securely.
3. Prepare furniture:
Treat all suspected bed bug harborages, including:
- Move infested furniture away from walls to provide access to baseboards, behind furniture, and other critical areas.
- Keep all infested items within the treatment area to avoid spreading bed bugs.
After Treatment
1. Allow for Transfer:
- Allow time for the fungal spores to transfer between bed bugs.
2. Do Not Disturb:
- Keep treated barrier areas undisturbed to ensure effectiveness.
3. Postpone Cleaning:
- Do not clean the treated areas until you have entirely eradicated the infestation.
- Follow-Up
4. Monitor the Area:
- Regularly monitor the treated areas for signs of bed bug activity.
- If bed bug activity persists, reapply Aprehend® as directed.
How Do Our Aprehend® Treatments Work?
Applying Aprehend® is simple and secure, requiring only low-contact areas to retain its residual effectiveness. The treatment process consists of four straightforward steps:
Step 1:
Strategic Application
To ensure strategic effectiveness, we carefully apply Aprehend® to critical areas where bed bugs will likely congregate after being introduced.
Step 2:
Initial Contact
When bed bugs come into contact with a surface treated by Aprehend®, fungal spores adhere to their feet and bodies, which they then carry back to their nesting areas.

Initial Contact
When bed bugs come into contact with a surface treated by Aprehend®, fungal spores adhere to their feet and bodies, which they then carry back to their nesting areas.
Step #3
Spore Transfer
Fungal spores easily transfer to each other through direct contact, ensuring that even bed bugs hidden in harborages are affected. Because bed bugs live closely together, the fungal infection spreads rapidly throughout the population.
Step 4:
Effective Elimination
Within 4–10 days, bed bugs succumb to the fungal disease. It’s essential to leave treated barrier areas undisturbed and avoid applying Aprehend® to places frequently touched by humans or exposed to sunlight. Postpone cleaning these areas until you have entirely eradicated the bed bug infestation.
