Aprehend™ is a new product which Standard Pest Management has begun using which Contains fungal spores that are sprayed in an oil formulation and are applied strategically in a ‘band’ like pattern. This band that our Bed Bug experts will create acts as a barrier.
For most common scenarios, it acts as a barrier around the box spring of your bed. Our Bed Bug exterminators are trained to spray Aprehend™ in a very precise, deliberate manner. We say “deliberate” because we’re counting on the behavior of Bed Bugs as they travel throughout the twilight hours.
In order to reach the top or bottom of the mattress, they’ll be forced to unknowingly walk through this barrier made up of billions of fungal spores which then begin to stick to the Bed Bug’s feet. Trust us when we tell you that it will stick much in the same way tape will stick to paper.
The Bed Bug will then proceed on traveling back to wherever it and the rest of its infestation are hiding out. Since the spores have travelled with it, all of the other remaining bed bugs that make contact will get stuck with some of these spores.
Within 24 hours of Apprehend’s spores making contact with a Bed Bug’s body, they’ll begin to germinate thus entering their bloodstream. Any Bed Bug that makes contact with that spore barrier which we’ve sprayed or a Bed Bug infected with spores will die within four to seven days after transmission.
This is an exciting, revolutionary new method for exterminating Bed Bugs without the need for thermal remediation. As you’ve read, it’s exceedingly useful because it will reach nearly every single nook, cranny or hiding spot our technicians may not have access to such as, behind an electrical outlet, behind walls, within ceilings, drawers, or under the rug.
What we’re trying to say here is that with our new Strategic Application Spray Treatment, Bed Bugs are no longer safe anywhere. Our Bed Bug Technicians will assess any infested rooms you may have in your house and make a decision as to the amount of spraying to apply.
Our most common application is to spray in narrow 2” band barriers along your box spring. However, based on where we may see an infestation origin, we may opt to spray in either a different place entirely or in addition to your box spring.
Like any important pest control or exterminating solution, there are a set of strict guidelines we need any one of our customers to follow before we’re able to provide treatment. This is very important. In many cases it may be for effectiveness of the service as well as health being the chief concern. However in this case, the latter is priority.
In order for Standard Pest Managements’ biopesticide spray treatment to work as intended, our experts and project manager will strongly advise that you please follow these guidelines so that we can make your home a Bed Bug-free zone. The more you are able to prepare, then the better and sooner your results will be!
After a successful treatment, please follow these guidelines. We promise you that it’s our very goal to make sure things go back to normal as quickly as possible in your home. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience with the initial preparation but you’ll see that it was fully worth it.
