How Does Aprehend®​ Work?

Extensive laboratory studies demonstrated that when bed bugs cross a treated surface, they pick up and carry fungal spores back to the harborage or nesting area. The spores are easily transferred to others in the colony, and all bed bugs that come into contact with the fungal spores die within four to ten days. This process of acquiring spores from a surface treated with Aprehend® and transferring them to the colony is repeated each night until the population is eliminated. The spray residue remains effective for up to three months, so unlike chemical insecticides, only one application is required to treat an infestation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly does Aprehend® start killing bed bugs?

Bed bugs that cross an Aprehend®-treated surface die within four to ten days. Because they carry the spores back to their hiding spots and infect the rest of the colony, homes in Livermore, Martinez, and Antioch see activity drop steadily over the following weeks.

Yes. Sleeping in your bed keeps bed bugs crawling toward you across the treated barrier, which is how they pick up the spores. Homeowners in San Jose and Milpitas should avoid moving to the couch or another room after treatment.

No. Vacuuming, mopping, or steam cleaning treated areas like bed frames, baseboards, and furniture edges removes the spore barrier, which stays active for up to three months. Routine cleaning of untreated surfaces is fine in homes across Oakland, Alameda, and Richmond.

Yes. Aprehend® uses a naturally occurring fungus instead of a nerve toxin, so it kills bed bugs that have become resistant to common pyrethroid sprays. Resistance is a growing problem in dense, multi-unit areas of San Francisco and Santa Clara County.

Bed bug chemical treatment in Stockton, Modesto, and Tracy typically ranges from $400-$1,200. The final price depends on the number of rooms treated, how severe the infestation is, and whether follow-up visits are needed.
