Bed Bug Life Stages
A misconception about bed bugs is that these pests are drawn to dirt and grime. However, the complete opposite is true. These creatures are attracted to clean hosts, blood and warm areas, making bed bugs in Austin, Texas, and surrounding areas a prominent issue. Understanding these pests and their life cycle is vital to knowing how a bed bug infestation works and how investing in proactive measures helps avoid a home takeover.
Cimex lectularius is the most common type of bed bug, and it has five life developmental stages, each requiring a blood meal to move on to the next stage in its development. Essential life cycle stages of a bed bug include:
Egg Production
Egg production relies heavily on the blood supply the female bed bug receives through feeding. On average, a female bed bug can lay between 1 to 7 eggs per day after one meal.
Nymph Development
Bed bug development relies heavily on the warmth of their living area. Also, it takes roughly 37 days for a nymph to fully mature.
Adult Lifespan
A bed bug with a reliant food supply can live up to 300 days, giving these adult pests time to reproduce in mass quantities and create a mass infestation with their offspring.
Bed Bug Infestation Problems
Bed bugs are a nuisance that can diminish their host’s physical, mental and economic well-being. Though no data supports the idea that bed bugs transmit diseases, their bites can promote allergic reactions and infections in their host. These bites also play a role in the mental health of the host, as it is common for those suffering from a bed bug infestation to suffer from anxiety and insomnia from trying to hide the bites and ensure their safety while they sleep.
Economically, a bed bug infestation can put you in debt if not caught early on. Removing bed bugs takes time and patience, as these pests hide in the cracks of your home and small areas in your bedding. Drawing out and eradicating bed bugs requires a bug exterminator in Austin, Texas, and surrounding areas to help prevent the infestation from getting out of control.
Acquiring bed bugs while traveling is expected, as they can lay dormant in hotels and rental cars and quickly transfer onto your clothes. Learn how to protect yourself from bed bugs while traveling by familiarizing yourself with our traveling tips to avoid bed bugs.
Our Warranty
Bed bugs are an insect that gains access to the home by being imported from another location. They do not crawl in from the lawn or yard like other insects. It is for this reason that warranties on bed bugs are limited to the extermination of the current infestation. If the homeowner returns to the same hotel or infestation source, he/she may unknowingly reintroduce new bed bugs back into the home some months after the current activity has been eliminated.
