Bed Bug Extermination Service

Bed Bug Detection, Eradication and Preventative Maintenance 

Bed Bug Extermination

Family Pest Solutions uses a comprehensive system using the combination of Dry Vapor Steam & Aprehend™ to completely eliminate all stages of bed bugs from eggs to adults. Chemicals do not have any effect on bed bug eggs, this is where the heat comes in. Not only does the dry vapor heat kill adult bed bugs & nymphs on contact, it also kills the eggs. We then follow behind the heat with a careful application of Aprehend™ to finish off the service. Scroll down to find out more information about this incredible product.

Bed Bug Detection for Hotels

The most valuable aspect of the system we use, especially for commercial locations like hotels and aircraft, that we are able to offer minimal downtime. Are you tired of taking one or more of your rooms out of service for 24 hours, or worse, several days? Using our system, we are able to have you back up and running in just 4-6 hours. Stop losing money to bed bug programs that put your rooms out of commission for days, or weeks! The combination of steam heat which kills all life stages including eggs, and Aprehend™ will prevent any new infestations, and is guaranteed to have your space back up and running in no time!​

Additionally, we offer a hotel exclusive monitoring system to catch bed bugs before your customers do! Using an automated insect detection system placed carefully near the beds, this system emits an all natural, odorless lure – Once it detects bugs, it will send a photo of the bug directly to email/phone.

APREHEND™

  • All Natural
  • Non-Toxic
  • Only a Single Application needed to kill ALL bed bugs that come into contact with this bio-pesticide
  • Quarterly Treatments Protect Hotel Rooms Year Round

Aprehend® is composed of Beauveria bassiana fungal spores applied in a proprietary formulation (patent pending). Aprehend is sprayed strategically in narrow bands where bed bugs are known to walk; direct spray contact is not necessary. Bed bugs of all life stages, sex or feeding status are killed within four to ten days following short-term contact with a treated surface. The fungal spores germinate within 20 hours of contact and then penetrate the cuticle of the bed bug and colonize inside, resulting in death.

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 area. The spores are easily transferred to others in the colony, and all bed bugs that come into contact with the fungal spores die within four to ten days. This process of acquiring spores from a surface treated with Aprehend and transferring them to the colony is repeated each night until the population is eliminated. The spray residue remains effective for up to three months, so unlike chemical insecticides, only one application is required to treat an infestation.

Due to its excellent long-term activity, Aprehend® will provide three months protection from the establishment of bed bug infestations. A regular (quarterly) treatment with Aprehend offers hotels and motels the first and only effective method to protect against bed bugs and the associated law suits, loss of reputation and remediation costs associated with bed bug infestations.

Chemical resistance –
no problem for Aprehend®

Bed bug populations are becoming resistant to many of the commonly used chemical insecticides. These data show the efficacy of Aprehend against the resistant ‘Jersey City’ and ‘Campus Coutryard’ strains of bed bug in comparison to the chemical standard ‘Suspend SC.’
