BED BUG CONTROL
Bed Bugs Characteristics
Bed bugs multiply very quickly. In fact, female bed bugs lay 1 to 5 eggs each day and may lie up to 500 eggs within one lifetime.
You may develop itchy, red welts or swelling the day or two after being bitten by bed bugs.
Some people bitten by bed bugs have experienced allergic reactions that require medical attention.
What You Need to Know About Bed Bugs
- Bed bugs are most active between 5 and 6 a.m.
- Bed bugs can also quickly spread to different rooms and even vehicles as they hitch a ride on a human host, clothing, or bedding.
- Adult bed bugs are light brown to reddish-brown, flattened, oval-shaped and have no hind wings.
- Bed bugs have segmented abdomens with microscopic hairs that give them a banded appearance.
- Adults grow to 4–5 mm in length (just over 3/16 inch) and 1.5–3 mm wide.
- Newly hatched nymphs are translucent, lighter in color and become browner as they molt and reach maturity.
- A bed bug of any age that has just consumed a blood meal will appear to have a bright red translucent abdomen; this color will fade to brown over the next several hours and within two days will become opaque and black as the insect digests its meal.
- Bed bugs may be mistaken for other insects, such as booklice, small cockroaches, or carpet beetles, however when warm and active, their movements are more ant-like, and they emit a characteristically disagreeable odor when crushed.
