VANCOUVER,
B.C.—PROOF by Terramera launched a new plant-based consumer pest control
product: PROOF
Bed Bug Nest Killer. This
product features PROOF Vapor Pad which is an easy-to-use, sprayless treatment
that penetrates deep using plant-based vapor action to kill bed bugs, their
eggs and nests.
Powered by Terramera’s patented Actigate Targeted Performance Technology, PROOF
Vapor Pad is 100 percent effective, allowing users to treat for bed bugs in as
little as 48 hours. Unlike sprays, PROOF Vapor Pad penetrates deep into the
cracks and crevices of items that can’t be laundered such as suitcases,
electronics, books, luggage, clutter, furniture, beds and more.
“Bedbug infestations are on the rise across the globe, creating a demand for
safer, smarter natural pest control solutions,” said Darren Hawrish, General
Manager of Terramera’s consumer PROOF brand. “The vapor pad brings something
entirely new to the table, providing a powerful plant-based solution that
consumers can feel good about knowing it uses a non-toxic mode of action, is
US-EPA registered and extensively lab-tested. We’re proud to be providing a
suite of SMART pest control products that help protect families, homes and the
planet.”
Available in Two Formats
PROOF Vapor Pad is available online in two formats: (1) PROOF Bed Bug Nest
Killer Mattress & Furniture which includes four treatment vapor pads and a
treatment bag large enough for a king-sized mattress, and (2) PROOF Bed BugNest
Killer Luggage & Household Items which includes two treatment vapor pads
and a treatment bag.
“One of the biggest problems that people encounter when trying to control bed
bugs is that the bugs lay eggs in tight crevices and places other than the
bed,” said Dr. Nate Woodbury, Terramera’s Senior Entomologist. “If spraying
doesn’t successfully penetrate these areas, or if the items simply can’t be
sprayed, it is likely that some bugs will survive and the infestation will
continue. PROOF Vapor Pad allows you to treat items which can’t be sprayed and
is effective at killing bugs and eggs that are hidden in deep crevices, greatly
increasing your chance of killing all the bugs, eliminating bites and reducing
the risk of the infestation spreading.”
Competitor products currently available in this category are overwhelmingly
kill-on-contact sprays that require the user to spend considerable time and
effort and leave a large margin for error. PROOF Bed Bug Nest Killer is the
first tool that will kill bed bugs and their eggs—no matter where they are
hiding. Used in combination with PROOF Bed Bug & Dust Mite Killer spray,
consumers now have a full suite of powerful, plant-based treatment tools as
part of PROOF’s SMART pest control product line.
