Aprehend® is an odorless biopesticide that is used in the treatment of bed bug infestations. Many other pest treatments for bed bugs require bed bugs to be in constant contact with the spray. With Aprehend®, bed bugs only need a brief encounter for it to be effective. Here at Colorado Pest Management Co., we swear by Aprehend®’s effectiveness, which is why we use it in our pest control services.
What is in it?
Aprehend® contains a naturally occurring fungal spore called Beauveria bassiana. This spore is combined with an oil-based formula that sticks to the legs and body of bed bugs. Bed bugs will then take this pesticide back to the cracks and crevices they hide in, called harborages, where it comes in contact with other bed bugs.
How to use Aprehend®
Using an Aprehend® spray application kit, fill the bottle of the spray gun with 16-fluid-ounces of Aprehend® and apply the pesticide three to four inches away from the wall, dresser drawer, or bed frame sweeping at a rate of four to five seconds per yard. Spray in a straight line using a linear motion without twisting your wrist at an angle over 90 degrees. Adjust your speed and distance accordingly to achieve even coverage. Colorado Pest Management Co. uses Aprehend® for many bed bug cases and we can even use it in your home or business to treat your bed bug infestation today.
