The Life Cycle of a Bed Bug: From egg to adult, bed bugs progress through multiple stages, each requiring a blood meal to grow and mature. 

Size: Adult bed bugs are about the size of a lentil, while their younger counterparts, called nymphs, are even smaller and nearly translucent. Don’t let their size fool you—after feeding, they swell up and turn bright red, becoming just as troublesome as the adults.

Shape & Color: Bed bugs are flat and oval-shaped, with a reddish-brown hue. Nymphs start out pale and change color as they grow, while their tiny eggs are pearly white and no bigger than a speck of dust, making them easy to miss.

One of the many places bed bugs hide is along mattress seams, where they blend in and stay close to their food source.

Where to Find Them: Bed bugs excel at hiding in the seams of mattresses, cracks in walls, behind baseboards, and even in your luggage. They are frequent travelers, hitchhiking from one place to another and multiplying rapidly. Once a female feeds, she can lay up to a dozen eggs a day, spreading their presence far and wide.

Bed Bug Reproduction: Bed bugs reproduce through traumatic insemination, a process as strange as it sounds. After feeding, a female can lay eggs for up to 10 days before needing to feed again. Eggs hatch in as little as six days, and the new bed bugs are ready to grow and feed immediately. It’s easy to see how a small problem can quickly turn into an infestation!
