Bed Bugs

Bedbug Facts

  • Female Bed Bugs lay 1-5 eggs a day & over 500 in a lifetime
  • Eggs hatch in 6-10 days
  • About 3-10 minutes are required for each blood meal, during which saliva containing an anticoagulant is injected.
  • Developmental time (egg to adult) can take as little as 21 days.
  • Without a blood meal, once-fed nymphs can survive an average of 51 days.
  • With normal feeding & reproductive cycles, bed bugs can live up to 316 days.
  • Although the bed bug bite is mostly painless, many people develop an allergic reaction to the saliva injected by the bug. Everyone reacts differently with bites, some people have swelling & some people have no reaction at all.
  • Bed Bugs are great hitch hikers & are easily transported. Once introduced, they will spread throughout the whole building.
  • They mostly hide out in cracks & crevices during the day & come out to feed at night. But, some hungry bed bugs can be seen during the day.
  • Their favorite places to hide are: Mattresses, box springs, head boards, foot boards, railings, baseboards, clutter, crown moldings, electric outlets, blinds, drapes, curtains, behind hanging pictures, dressers, couches, sofas, recliners,and nightstands.
