Bed Bugs Life Cycle
Bed bugs are not new creatures but they have been around in the world for more than a thousand years. They are very small and somewhat oval in shape. These small insects can be seen with our naked eyes.
Bed Bugs usually have a wingless body that is reddish-brown in color. So, bed bugs can not fly or jump to high places. But with their small sticky appendages, they move very quickly. Bed bugs can easily crawl up to all the high nooks and corners rapidly.
Bed Bugs have a very flat body structure so they can easily fit into small cracks and spaces. From afar, adult bed bugs look like an apple seed. They move quickly on the floors, and the walls of your home ceilings.¹
What Do Bed Bugs Eat?
Cimex, also known as Bed Bugs, only have the ability to suck blood and can’t chew any food. They are attracted to source of CO2 the same way than a shark can detect a drop of blood in water. This is also the reason why Bed Bugs are found in higher population on the headboard and any object close to were you lay your head. They will get a meal from hot blooded mammal as long as they prey is still enough for them to climb on them. They are not found on cat or dog as their fur prevent them to get a meal.
Bed bugs have an elongated beak-like sucker which they use for piercing the skin. They usually have three meals over a period of 10 minutes which we named breakfast, lunch and dinner. Those three bites creates a characteristic triangle bites. However, not everyone react to their bites. After feeding, they simply crawl away after becoming swollen with blood and look more reddish in color.
Where to find Bed Bugs?
You can find them living in your furniture, luggage, purses, begs, and on other upholstered surfaces. They also live in the folds and stitches of bedsheets, mattress seams, headboards, bed frames and in the crevices of your house walls, floors and ceiling. They easily travel through different rooms, apartment complexes etc.
The Life Cycle Of Bedbugs:
An immature bed bug, Nymph, quickly reaches maturity by sucking blood and shedding its skin 5-6 times to become an adult. A nymph after reaching maturity hardly takes a month to produce 3 generations per year.
The female adult can lay up to hundreds of eggs over their lifetime. Each egg looks just like a dust particle, offwhite in color which develops into a nymph.⁵
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
It is very important that you get rid of your bed bug infestation as soon as possible. You can try to control your bed bug problem by following these strategies:
- Dry your bedsheets, blankets, pillow cases at high heat setting for 60 minutes. Dryer has to be 50% full to allows air circulation and elimination of cold spot. You don’t need to wash the clothes as the dryer will kill eggs and live bugs as long as dryer in good condition and air filter clean. Minimum temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes will kill eggs while live Bed Bugs will die in 15 minutes.
- Inspect the furniture, bags, and clothes thoroughly whenever you come back home after a stay.
- Use Vacuum molding for cleaning the seams of your windows and floors every day.
An “integrated pest management” (IPM) approach can help you to control your bed bug problem but you can also take help from the pest control companies. They have much more experience when dealing with the infestations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are bed bugs usually found?
Bed bugs are most often found close to where people sleep or rest. Common hiding places include mattress seams, box springs, headboards, bed frames, couches, chairs, baseboards, wall cracks, luggage, bags, and upholstered furniture. In apartments and multi-unit buildings, they can also move between rooms or units through small openings and shared structures.
What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?
Common signs include live bed bugs, small white eggs, shed skins, dark stains on mattresses or bedding, blood spots on sheets, and itchy bite marks. Some people also notice a musty odour in heavier infestations. However, not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, so an infestation can exist even if no bites are visible.
Can pest control get rid of bed bugs?
Yes. Professional pest control can get rid of bed bugs when the correct treatment method is used. Bed bugs are difficult to eliminate with DIY sprays because they hide in cracks, furniture, mattresses, and wall voids. At We Clean Pest Control, we offer nonchemical bed bug heat treatment designed to target live bed bugs and eggs in one treatment.
How much does pest control cost for bed bugs?
The cost of bed bug pest control depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms affected, infestation level, treatment method, preparation needs, and whether same-day or emergency service is required. We offer a best price guarantee or 10% under the competition, and we provide a free expert consultation so you can understand the best option before booking.
How effective is pest control for bed bugs?
Professional bed bug pest control can be highly effective when the treatment reaches the areas where bed bugs and eggs are hiding. Heat treatment is especially effective because it can penetrate furniture, mattresses, cracks, and other hiding spots when performed correctly. Our goal is to eliminate the infestation quickly and help you become worry-free in 24 hours.
What does your pest control company use for bed bugs?
Pest control companies may use heat treatment, chemical sprays, steam, dust, vacuuming, mattress encasements, monitoring tools, or a combination of methods. At We Clean Pest Control, our main solution is nonchemical bed bug heat treatment, which is family and pet-friendly and designed to eliminate bed bugs without relying on pesticide spray.
Can bed bugs be removed in one treatment?
Yes, in many cases bed bugs can be eliminated in one properly performed heat treatment. The result depends on the size of the infestation, property layout, clutter level, and whether bed bugs are reintroduced after service. Our heat treatment is designed to kill bed bugs and eggs in one treatment and is backed by our service guarantee.
Is bed bug heat treatment safe for families and pets?
Our nonchemical bed bug heat treatment is designed to be family and pet-friendly. You will need to leave the property during the treatment period, but you can return once the service is complete and the space is safe to re-enter according to our instructions.
How long do I need to leave the home during treatment?
For our heat treatment, you should plan to leave the property for the treatment period. In many cases, customers leave for 24 hours while we eliminate the bed bugs. We will explain the exact timing and re-entry instructions before your service.
Do bed bugs spread diseases?
Bed bugs are not mainly known for spreading diseases, but they can cause stress, discomfort, itching, skin irritation, sleep problems, and anxiety. Scratching bites can also irritate the skin. Even if they are not considered the same type of health risk as some other pests, bed bugs should be treated quickly before the infestation grows.
What do bed bug bites look like?
Bed bug bites may appear as small red bumps, itchy welts, or bite marks in a line or cluster. Some people notice several bites close together, sometimes called a “breakfast, lunch, and dinner” pattern. However, reactions vary. Some people react strongly, while others show no visible signs.
How did I get bed bugs?
Bed bugs can be picked up from hotels, apartments, shared laundry areas, public transportation, used furniture, luggage, guest visits, workplaces, or neighbouring units. They are not a sign of poor hygiene. Bed bugs spread by hiding in belongings and being carried from one place to another.
Who is at risk for a bed bug infestation?
Anyone can get bed bugs. People who travel, live in multi-unit buildings, buy used furniture, work in shared environments, or have frequent visitors may have a higher risk. Bed bugs can enter clean homes, luxury buildings, apartments, and commercial spaces.
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
Small problems may sometimes be reduced with careful drying, vacuuming, inspection, and prevention, but bed bugs are very difficult to eliminate completely without professional treatment. Eggs and hidden bugs can survive in cracks, furniture, mattresses, and walls. DIY sprays may also cause bed bugs to move deeper into hiding spots.
