BED BUG IDENTIFICATION
|
Bed bugs are small flat 6 legged insects that feed on blood by using piecing sucking mouth parts. The insects go through 7 life stages 1 egg, 5 nymph and adult stage. Each life stage requires a blood meal to grow to the next (excluding the egg stage. Bed bugs prefer to live in tight spaces such as between cracks in head boards, bed frames, in molding and trim and in personal belongings. Bed bugs can live for 6-12 months and life expectancy is highly effected by the temperature in the environment. Cooler indoor temperatures generally allow bed bugs to live longer. Bed bugs are hitch hikers and can sense temperature, CO2 and human kairomones to climb into personal belongings. Females can lay up to 6 eggs per day in ideal conditions which can result in quickly infesting a home.
