Habitat

Bedbugs like to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment. They can be found behind baseboards, wallpaper, upholstery and in furniture crevices.

Eco-friendly bed bug control Vancouver

How Apprehend bed bug treatment works

For many infestations, Pest Detective uses Apprehend, an oil-based biopesticide that relies on a naturally occurring fungus specifically formulated for bed bug control. The product is applied as narrow spray bands on surfaces where bed bugs are known to travel, creating a long-lasting barrier that remains effective for weeks to months after treatment. When bed bugs cross this barrier, the microscopic fungal spores attach to their bodies, germinate, and then spread from bug to bug back in their hiding areas, leading to colony-wide elimination over several days.​

Non-toxic Bed Bug Treatment

Apprehend is designed to be non-toxic to humans and pets because the fungus used in this biopesticide targets insects rather than mammals. Once the treatment is applied and the recommended re-entry time has passed, people and pets can occupy the space again while the bed bug control product continues working quietly in the background. For Vancouver homeowners, property managers, and hospitality businesses, this makes Apprehend-based bed bug pest control an attractive option when health, safety, and comfort are top priorities.​

Bed Bug FAQs

Why Have Bed Bugs Returned?

In the past, insecticides such as DDT helped to keep the bed bug population at bay with residues that continued working after the product was sprayed. Now, with the increase in the use of bait traps instead of broad-spectrum sprays, specific pests such as ants and cockroaches are being targeted, and bed bugs are no longer being eliminated.

In addition, people now travel more than ever before. Places that see a great deal of turnover such as hotels give bed bugs the opportunity to travel to new locations on luggage or clothing.

Why Are Bed Bugs a Problem?

Bed bugs are nuisances and are generally off-putting to people, but they do not pose any major health risks. As with mosquitoes, people can be allergic to their bites, which can cause swelling, itchy welts and in some cases infections. However, they are not known to carry any blood-borne diseases. Bed bugs are mainly active at night. As they typically feed when people are asleep; their bites may not be detected immediately. One species of bed bug feeds primarily on humans, but there are other species that feed on other mammals and on birds. Bed bugs are moved into and around a dwelling through infested furniture and bedding. They can also enter a home or hotel by being carried in on clothing or luggage.

Why does Pest Detective use Aprehend for bed bug control in Vancouver?

Pest Detective uses Aprehend because it is a highly effective, research-backed biopesticide designed specifically for bed bugs, not a generic chemical spray. The microscopic fungal spores in Aprehend stick to bed bugs as they travel, then spread through the infestation, delivering long-lasting control without relying on repeated broad-spectrum insecticide applications.​

How does your Aprehend treatment help keep my family and pets safe?

Aprehend targets insects only, so when it is applied according to the label by trained technicians, it is considered non-toxic to people and pets. Pest Detective applies Aprehend in narrow, hidden bands along baseboards, bed frames, and furniture seams, away from regular contact surfaces, so your family can return home after the short re-entry window while the treatment continues working quietly in the background.

How much does bed bug extermination cost in Vancouver?

Bed bug treatment in Vancouver starts at $525 with Pest Detective, with pricing adjusted based on the size of the space and severity of the infestation. Our programs include initial treatment, follow up visits, and monitoring to ensure complete elimination.”
