Aprehend® Bed Bug Treatment in Chester County, PA

Advanced Bed Bug Control Using Aprehend®

At Budget Exterminating Inc., we use Aprehend®, an innovative biopesticide designed specifically for professional bed bug control. Unlike traditional sprays that rely solely on chemical knockdown, Aprehend works by using a naturally occurring fungal spore to eliminate bed bug infestations at the source.

This modern approach is highly effective, long-lasting, and ideal for residential and commercial properties throughout Chester County, Downingtown, and surrounding areas.

How Aprehend® Works

Aprehend contains Beauveria bassiana, a naturally occurring fungus that targets bed bugs through contact.

When bed bugs cross treated surfaces:

  • The microscopic spores adhere to the bed bug’s body
  • The spores penetrate the exoskeleton
  • The fungus grows internally, killing the bed bug within 4–7 days
  • Infected bed bugs spread spores to others, helping eliminate hidden populations

Because bed bugs continue to move between harborages and hosts, this process allows Aprehend to work continuously, even on bugs that were not present during the initial treatment.

Why Aprehend® Is Different From Traditional Bed Bug Sprays

Traditional bed bug treatments often rely on direct contact and repeated applications. Aprehend offers several key advantages:

  • Long-lasting residual – remains effective for up to 3 months when undisturbed
  • Non-repellent – bed bugs do not avoid treated areas
  • Targets hidden bed bugs – effective in cracks, crevices, and wall voids
  • Lower chemical exposure – minimal odor and low toxicity when applied properly
  • Proven resistance solution – effective against pesticide-resistant bed bugs

This makes Aprehend especially valuable in situations where bed bugs are difficult to locate or access.

Our bed bug treatments are performed by trained technicians following a detailed inspection and treatment protocol.

The process includes:

  • Thorough inspection of sleeping and sitting areas
  • Identification of active bed bug harborages

Is Aprehend® Effective for Severe Bed Bug Infestations?

Yes. Aprehend is effective for light, moderate, and heavy infestations, especially when combined with proper preparation and professional application.

How Our Bed Bug Control Works

We use the Aprehend® bed bug treatment to eliminate infestations. Aprehend® is a biopesticide made of Beauveria bassiana fungal spores. It is non-toxic and can significantly reduce bed bug populations in as little as four days. 

Here is how it works:

  1. We spray Aprehend® to surfaces where we know bed bugs are or where they will pass over.
  2. The spray’s fungal spores stick to the bed bugs.
  3. The bed bugs carry these spores back to their hiding places and spread them to others.
  4. Over time, the entire bed bug population dies.  

One application of Aprehend® can last for an extended period, providing ongoing protection. By utilizing this fungal-based biopesticide, we have helped numerous homeowners and businesses eliminate infestations and prevent them from reoccurring.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

Recognizing the signs of a bed bug infestation is crucial for prompt intervention. But what are these signs?

You should take note of:

  • Unexpected bloodstains on sheets, pillowcases, upholstery, and other surfaces; this is often an indication that bed bugs have been feeding. 
  • Bed bug fecal matter, which looks like small black or brown spots on bedding and furniture.
  • Bed bug skins. These will appear like transparent versions of the bugs themselves. 
  • Musty and semi-sweet odors. Bed bug pheromones have this odd smell. 
  • Bed bug bite marks, which are generally red with a dark center. They also often appear in lines or groups. 

Unfortunately, you likely have a bed bug problem if you notice any of the above. No issue is too far gone for our experienced team, however. Contact us as soon as possible if you see signs of a bed bug infestation. 

Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?

Bed bugs are notoriously stealthy. These resilient pests often lurk in and around sleeping areas. This can include mattresses, bed frames, pillows, headboards, and more. They tend to seek refuge in seams, folds, and crevices of mattresses and box springs, as well as behind wallpaper, picture frames, and electrical outlets. 

In addition to living in homes, bed bugs establish hideouts in public spaces with high human activity. Bed bugs can live in buses and subways, theaters, and hotels. They hide in these space’s wall voids, around window and door moldings, and even in clothing and linens.
