Bed Bugs Breeding

More Information about those blood sucking Bed Bugs!

Although bed bugs cannot fly, they can move quickly across almost any surface but slow enough that they can still be seen by the naked eye. The female bed bug breeds and can lay up to 500 eggs in a lifetime at a rate of up to 5 eggs per day; that is a lot of bed bug breeding!

The bed bug white eggs are sticky at first and approximately the size of a single speck of dust. The eggs hatch in 6-17 days and the nymphs are about the size of a pin head when they immerge. The nymph will shed its skin five times as it grows, requiring at least one blood meal in between each molt. The nymph can develop into an adult in a month with the right conditions. This allows for at least three generations of bed bugs in a single year. However, if the temperature is not right or a meal is not available, the nymph’s development will be delayed as a nymph can go months without feeding and an adult can survive for more than a year.

This is why bed bugs breeding are so resilient and leaving an infested area will not solve the problem. Although the bugs like to feed on humans, they can live on the blood of pets and other warm blooded animals as well. The adults usually live for 12-18 months.

Bed Bugs Breeding – Identifying Bed Bug Infestations

Much of the time, a bed bugs breeding infestation is only suspected when bites appear on a person. Oftentimes, the bites are misidentified, thus allowing infestations to go unnoticed, which gives the bed bugs time to spread and breed to other areas of the house.

When cleaning, changing bedding, or staying away from home, when suggest you look for the following things:

dark spots (about this size: •) which are bed bug excrement and may bleed on the fabric like a marker would,
eggs and eggshells, which are tiny (about 1mm) and white,
skins that nymphs shed as they grow larger,
live bed bugs, and
rusty or reddish stains on bed sheets or mattresses caused by bed bugs being crushed.
