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.
Apprehend bed bug.
Aprehend is composed of beauveria bassiana fungal spores applied in a proprietary formulation patent pending.
The key difference between aprehend and other biopesticides developed for use in agriculture is the formulation.
And that s just the kind of tool the founders of centre hall pa based conidiotec want the pest control industry to deploy in the fight against a seemingly relentless and insecticide resistant nuisance.
Almost all bed bugs within the detector were found to be dead and were transferred to a damp tupperware container in an effort to identify if the dead bed bugs were exposed to aprehend.
Aprehend biopesticide is a non toxic ready to use oil formula of fungal spores called beauveria bassiana.
A critical feature of any bed bug pesticide is the length of time that the spray residue remains effective.
Due to their cryptic nature bed bugs are extremely difficult to target by direct spray application.
Aprehend is a unique ready to use formulation which contains a special combination of oils which enable the application of the beauveria conidia spores to surfaces where they remain attached until encountered by a bed bug.
Aprehend must be applied at low volume application rates using a low volume low pressure spray applicator such as aprehend low volume sprayer.
In addition to the observations made by the homeowner a blackout bed bug detector was found capturing hundreds of bed bugs within the dining area.
One application will last three months making it an excellent choice for active and preventative bed bug treatments.
This proprietary oil formulation ensures that.
