Bed bugs are known to hide in tiny crevices not obvious to homeowners. Crevices in floorboards, bedboards, furniture, hardwood floors, and trim moldings. As the average size of an adult bed bug is a ¼ inch, the possibilities are endless. This is just one reason why bed bug infestations are difficult to fully eradicate.
What Is Aprehend Bed Bug Treatment
Aprehend is a notable brand in the pesticide industry. It is a bio-pesticide formula comprised of Beauveria bassiana fungal spores and natural ingredients. It comes in a liquid diluted formula which eliminates the need to mix with water. Each bottle is 16 fluid ounces.
Aprehend is rated professional grade. The strength is not as strong as commercial grade bio-pesticides but stronger than standard grade. Professional-grade bio-pesticides deliver better results when utilized properly.
Aprehend is only available to licensed exterminators, bed bug specialists, and pest management professionals. Most local extermination companies offer Aprehend treatment. Consumers have reported amazing results over a three-month period.
Aprehend Treatment Recommendations
Aprehend recommends three-month treatment intervals for commercial establishments like hotels, inns, and bed & breakfasts. Quarterly treatments will ensure any commercial establishment remains bed bug-free.
Easier Solutions
Aprehend is great for homeowners and professionals. For starters, the product is ready to use. The professional can add the solution to the sprayer and begin using it immediately. There is no need to dilute the product. As a result, it is easier to use and there is no risk that the solution will be too diluted and destroyed.
It also prevents repeat visits. Usually, the professional will only need to visit the residence once. The problem should be resolved in one visit. Aprehend also had a 3-month residual effect. Ultimately, the method is convenient for everyone involved.
Bedbugs Carry It
Another great thing about Aprehend is that it is carried by the bedbugs. Once a bedbug has been exposed to the mixture, the bug will carry the chemical back to its hiding spot. It may spread the mixture to other bedbugs. Regardless, the bug has been exposed so it is going to die even if it flees in a hurry. In some cases, this makes Aprehend more effective than other bedbug treatments.
Natural
Many consumers will prefer Aprehend because it is a natural biopesticide. The product is composed of Beauveria bassiana Fungal Spores. The spores are reportedly effective at eliminating bedbugs. The Aprehend mixture will be sprayed in thin bands where bedbugs are known to walk.
Direct spraying is not necessary. The mixture will kill bedbugs at all ages of life. Once the fungal spores have made contact, they will germinate within 20 hours. Then, the spores will penetrate the cuticle and colonize inside the bug. This effectively kills the bedbug.
Limited History
One thing to remember about Aprehend is that the product hasn’t been used extensively. Instead, the product is new. It has only been used by professionals briefly. Therefore, it’s hard to say exactly what the treatment entails. It is described as a natural biopesticide, but there is no guarantee it is safe. It often takes many, many years for researchers to evaluate the effect
Therefore, there are risks involved. Nevertheless, some experts argue that this treatment is safer because it is natural.
Not Available Everywhere
Consumers must understand that Aprehend is fairly new to the market. Consumers have the option of treating the problem themselves. However, that is not suitable for everyone. Instead, consumers may want to hire a professional who uses this treatment. Thankfully, Aprehend is quickly being adopted by many pest control professionals around the country.
The company suggests that more than 1,600 companies in the United States and Canada use Aprehend. The website can help users identify which companies do. Nevertheless, some companies do not offer this treatment.
Professional Use Only
Some bedbug treatments can be used by the homeowner. Others cannot. Therefore, it is vital to determine whether you want to use professional services. Aprehend is primarily only available to professionals. If you wish to take advantage of this treatment method, you will have to hire a professional who offers it. Again, there are 1,600 or more professionals in the United States and Canada using these products.
