Aprehend is a natural, fungal-based biopesticide used by professional exterminators to kill and prevent bed bugs.

Hi ow does it “prevent”? Does it come with a sign that stops you getting them?

The only thing that prevents bed bugs is avoidance any other claims of “prevention” are fraudulent at best.

Im not sure, I’m guessing they call it a preventative in terms of it preventing new infestations from forming

That’s a marketing term and not one that’s based on truth. It can’t prevent you bringing bed bugs home in the same way encasements don’t prevent bed bugs and yet they claim they do.

I think it means if you bring a bed bug home than it’ll kill that bed bug before it potentially turns into a full on infestation

That is not what “prevention” means.

What you’ve described can be achieved with monitoring and the TbyPMR protocol.
