Introduction
Bed bugs are one of the most persistent and frustrating pests you can encounter. Traditional chemical treatments often require multiple visits, come with health concerns, and may still fail to eliminate infestations completely. That’s why Aprehend, a natural biopesticide, is gaining ground as a revolutionary solution for effective and sustainable bed bug control.
At EJ’s Pest Control, we proudly offer Aprehend treatment as part of our advanced bed bug removal services throughout Washington, DC.

What Is Bed Bug Aprehend?
Aprehend is a non-toxic, fungal-based biopesticide derived from Beauveria bassiana, a natural fungus that infects and kills bed bugs. When bed bugs come in contact with treated surfaces, they carry fungal spores back to the nest, spreading it to others—even those that never left their hiding spots.
This allows for colony-wide elimination with minimal human disruption.
Benefits of Aprehend Bed Bug Over Traditional Treatments
Aprehend is not only effective, but it’s also safer and longer-lasting. Here’s how it compares:
✅ Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic
Unlike chemical sprays, Aprehend poses no threat to pets or humans once dried.
✅ Long-Lasting Residual Effect
Remains active on surfaces for up to three months, offering extended protection.
✅ Minimal Prep Work
Less prep is required compared to conventional bed bug treatments, saving you time and stress.
✅ High Kill Rate
Even hidden or pesticide-resistant bed bugs are affected, making it ideal for large infestations.
When to Consider Aprehend Treatment
You should consider Aprehend if:
- You’ve had recurring bed bug infestations.
- Traditional chemical treatments haven’t worked.
- You’re looking for a green, low-disruption solution.
- You want long-term bed bug prevention after extermination.

Our Aprehend Bed Bug Treatment Process
- Inspection – We identify all areas affected by bed bugs using advanced detection tools.
- Targeted Application – Aprehend is applied in strategic locations such as bed frames, baseboards, and furniture seams.
- Monitoring – Our team follows up with inspections to ensure the bed bug colony is fully eradicated.
- Ongoing Protection – The long-term effectiveness of Aprehend keeps new infestations at bay.
We may also recommend pairing Aprehend with encasements or heat treatments depending on severity.
What to Expect After Treatment
After application, it typically takes 4–10 days to see a dramatic reduction in bed bug activity. However, because of its delayed-action design, Aprehend provides full extermination within 14–21 days as the fungus spreads through the colony.
