Bed Bug Aprehend Treatment
or call (604) 529-7700
Preparation Prior to Service
Vacuum baseboards to remove dust build-up from these areas. Remove the vacuum cleaner bag or contents of the canister, place in a plastic bag, and dispose of it in the trash can outside your apartment/home
Remove all sheets, covers, dust ruffles, comforters, pillows, and any other bedding covers from your mattress and box spring in all bedrooms. Wash all bed linens in the hottest water possible and then run through a hot dryer cycle for a minimum of 40 minutes. Replacing the original bedding without treatment at high heat is likely to reintroduce bed bugs to the treated room, which could result in control failure
Remove all clothing items from these storage areas and wash in the hottest water possible, then run through a hot dryer cycle for a minimum of 40 minutes. Place these clean, dry clothes in a large garbage bag sealed at the top until the treatment has been completed.
Pick up clothes on floors and hanging over chairs. Wash in the hottest water possible and then run through a hot dryer cycle for a minimum of 40 minutes. Place these clean, dry clothes in a large garbage bag sealed at the top until the treatment has been completed.
This will assist in removing potential bed bug harborages. Check items for signs of infestation.
It is not necessary to remove clean clothing or other items from inside dressers and closets unless these items are clearly heavily infested (visible bed bugs). Ornaments and other items can be left in place.
Move all furniture items away from the walls to allow access to the baseboards around the entire room. Raise bed via frame or other material if possible for best results.
Request Seaside for a high quality fabric mattress encasement to prevent re-infestation. These can be fitted onto the mattress by your technician before the treatment.
Request Seaside for bed bug moats to install under each bed, couch, and armchair leg to trap bed bugs and monitor activity.

Important Steps Following Treatment
Residents and pets should stay out of the treatment area for at least 4-6 hours after the treatment.
Continue sleeping in the treated areas to keep bed bugs active, ensuring they come into contact with the residual pesticide
Avoid bringing in new furniture or fabrics until all treatments are completed and bedbugs are eradicated.
Do not wax or wash floor surfaces, especially edges, for at least three weeks after treatment. Avoid steam cleaning carpets.
Once you return to the treated site, open windows for at least 15-minutes to ensure proper ventilation.
Do not spray any pesticides or cleaning products in treated areas after the aprehend treatment. This will kill the aprehend and result in control failure
People with respiratory challenges (i.e., Allergies, Asthma, Heart Conditions, Pregnant Women, Infants Under 1YR) should stay out of the treatment area for at least 12-24 hours after the treatment.
Please Also Review the Following
Allow the treatment time to work, do not clean or remove the spray barriers.
Contact Seaside pest control if you still see live bed bugs 30 days after treatment
However, all bed bugs will die within 3-7 days after coming into contact with Aprehend.
Live bed bugs may be visible for 2-3 weeks after the treatment. Affected bugs may be seen wandering in unusual places, this is a sign that the treatment is working
Remember that bed bugs may not leave their harborages for a number of days after treatment, and nymphs hatching from eggs will not be affected until they cross a spray barrier.
Under certain lighting conditions, these barriers may be visible. Leave these in place until you are certain that the infestation has been eradicated
The barrier will remain active for up to 3 months if left undisturbed, but is easily removed with kitchen or bathroom cleaner when required
In most cases barriers will have been applied in inconspicuous areas, but, if infestation was suspected behind baseboards or electrical outlets, a 2” spray barrier may have been applied on the wall above or around these installations
