Question 1

What is Exhale and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Exhale is a non-toxic bed bug activator and monitoring device that releases CO2 and kairomones to mimic the presence of a sleeping human. This triggers bed bugs to leave their harborage and move toward the monitor, making detection faster and more reliable.

Question 2

Is Exhale safe for children and pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Exhale is completely non-toxic and contains no pesticides or harmful chemicals. It is safe to use in environments with children, pets, and sensitive individuals.

Question 3

What are bed bug kairomones?

Accepted Answer

Kairomones are chemical signals released by one organism that benefit the receiver. For bed bugs, the primary kairomone is CO2 — the gas humans exhale. Bed bugs use CO2 to locate sleeping hosts from several metres away. Exhale harnesses this biology to attract and detect bed bugs without toxins.

Question 4

Can Exhale be used after a bed bug heat treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Exhale is the ideal post-treatment verification tool. After a heat treatment, deploy Exhale for 48-72 hours to confirm whether any bed bugs survived. If no activity is detected, you have strong evidence the treatment was successful.

Question 5

Who uses Exhale?

Accepted Answer

Exhale is used by professional pest control operators (PCOs) for reliable bed bug monitoring workflows, as well as by homeowners and property managers who need a safe, non-toxic solution. It is especially popular for pre-treatment confirmation, post-treatment verification, and monitoring vacant apartments.
