Bed Bug Aprehend Treatment Toronto

Protecting Your Toronto Home with Aprehend

Bed bugs are persistent pests, feeding on human blood and leaving behind itchy bites that can lead to secondary infections. They hide in cracks, crevices, and the seams of your bed frame, spreading rapidly throughout your home. When dealing with heavy infestations, heat treatment is essential to kill live bed bugs and their eggs.

At Bed Bug Treatment, we use Aprehend, a non-toxic biopesticide, to ensure thorough bed bug extermination. Our integrated pest management approach targets even the most elusive hiding spots, offering a solution that’s both safe and effective.

What Is Aprehend Bed Bug Treatments?

Created by University of Pennsylvania researchers, Aprehend^® is a fungal-based biopesticide specifically designed to combat bed bugs. It utilizes a strain of Beauveria bassiana fungus, which effectively infects and kills bed bugs upon contact.

How it work against bed bug infestation?

Aprehend^® utilizes Beauveria bassiana fungal spores, which adhere to bed bugs as they move across treated areas. These spores penetrate the bed bug’s exoskeleton, causing death within 4-10 days. This method ensures that bed bugs are not just killed but also spread the spores to their hiding spots, effectively reducing the infestation without the use of harsh chemicals.

How effective is aprehend on bedbugs?

Aprehend^® boasts an impressive efficacy, with studies showing up to 95% reduction in bed bug populations within weeks. It’s particularly effective against bed bugs hiding in hard-to-reach areas, including bed frames and box springs. With just one application, Aprehend provides ongoing control, significantly lowering the risk of re-infestation in both residential and commercial settings.

The Aprehend Treatment Process

Aprehend treatment is a meticulous process, designed to address bed bug infestations effectively. Here’s how it works:

1. Inspection

We begin by thoroughly inspecting the entire area. Our focus is on detecting bed bugs in all their common hiding spots—mattresses, box springs, furniture, and crevices. We also look for signs like bed bug eggs and fecal matter to gauge the infestation’s extent.

2. Preparaction

Preparation is crucial. We advise clearing clutter, vacuuming thoroughly, and sealing cracks to minimize hiding places. This step also includes checking beds, ensuring they’re free of dust and debris. Proper preparation maximizes the treatment’s effectiveness.

3. Application

Aprehend is applied with precision to areas where bed bugs hide and feed. Using a biopesticide, we create a barrier that kills bed bugs upon contact. This treatment continues to be effective for up to three months, providing long-lasting protection.

4. Follow-Up

Post-application, we conduct follow-up visits to ensure the treatment’s success. We monitor for any signs of live bed bugs and make necessary adjustments, if needed, to ensure complete bed bug removal.

When to Call in Professional Bed Bug Exterminators

Early detection is crucial in stopping bed bugs before they multiply. If you notice signs like bed bug bites, small blood spots on sheets, or a strange musty odor, it’s time to act. Bed bugs feed on human blood and hide in cracks, crevices, and furniture, making professional intervention necessary.

Identifying bed bugs quickly can prevent psychological distress and allergic reactions, especially in high-traffic public spaces or commercial settings. In severe cases, only one application of Aprehend treatment might be needed to kill bed bugs and protect your environment.

Preparing Your Home For Aprehend^® Treatment

Proper preparation plays a crucial role in faster and more effective bed bug elimination:

• Declutter your home – Reduce bed bug hiding spots by removing clutter from the floor, especially around beds and furniture.
• Launder your linens – Wash all bedding, linens, and clothing in the hottest water possible, then dry at high heat to kill bed bug eggs.
• Vacuum thoroughly – Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to clean carpets, rugs, and furniture, focusing on cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide.
• Empty the vacuum properly – After vacuuming, immediately empty the vacuum bag or canister into a sealed plastic bag and dispose of it outside.
• Move and protect your furniture – Shift beds, sofas, and chairs away from walls to allow access to baseboards and furniture seams, key areas where bed bugs and eggs can be found.
• Avoid using chemical cleaners – Don’t use products like Lysol, Pinesol, Mr. Clean, or bleach on surfaces to be treated, as these can interfere with Aprehend^®‘s fungal spores.
• Inspect your box spring – Bed bugs often hide in the seams of the box spring; make sure it’s accessible for thorough treatment.
• Focus on the bed frame – Ensure your bed frame is clean and accessible, as bed bugs can hide in cracks and crevices here as well.
• Remove any unnecessary items – Items like plush toys or extra pillows should be removed from the room to avoid contamination.
• Follow the guidance provided by the pest control professionals from Bed Bug Treatment.
