Bed bugs feed exclusively on blood,
every 5 to 7 days. They feed and gorge on mostly humans while we are at our
deepest sleep, usually going unnoticed by the host.
Our carbon dioxide, when we
breathe, and the heat that we produce is what bed bugs are attracted to.
Nymphs, young bed bugs, need to immediately feed.
With each blood meal they
molt, shed their skin, and they must molt 5 times before becoming an adult,
mating and reproducing.
The saying goes, it’s never just one bed bug. The spread of
bed bugs happens rapidly. One female can lay one to five eggs per day and up to
500 within her lifetime. She uses a clear substance to attach them in cracks
and rough surfaces. The eggs are very tiny hardly able to see with the naked
eye. Eggs are sticky, white and laid in clusters.
