What is Exhale and how does it work?

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.

Is Exhale safe for children and pets?

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.

Can Exhale be used after a bed bug heat treatment?

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.

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.

Q: What are bed bug kairomones?

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.
