ConidioTec created Aprehend®, a non-toxic, fungal bio-pesticide for the elimination and prevention of bed bugs, based on research out of Penn State's Dept of Entomology. Aprehend® offers a single, long-lasting application, sprayed as barriers in areas where bed bugs walk. When bed bugs cross the barrier, the spores stick to the body of the bug and are taken back to the harborage where they are spread among the bed bug population. Bed bugs that come into contact with the fungal spores will become infected and die within 4-7 days. In this way, Aprehend® targets bed bugs both in and outside of their harborages in a single application. The spray maintains effective control for up to 3 months and can be used to eliminate and prevent the establishment of bed bug populations in single family homes, apartment complexes, assisted living, hotels, and commercial spaces. With over field treatments by PMPs since product launch in October 2017, Aprehend® has quickly become the go-to product for PMPs for even the most difficult bed bug infestations.
