The Life Cycle of a Bed Bug

Although small in size, bed bugs can quickly reproduce and survive for months without feeding, allowing undetected infestations to rapidly grow. Learn more about the life cycle of these pests.

Horrible to think they can survive so long. Ewww.🤢

well. we've been battling bed bugs for nearly three years. Tried many things. Have a steamer, bags of diatomaceous earth, a good hoover, the bed bug blockers, the matress covers, use tons of vinegar, wash ALL bedding (yes, the covers and pillows as well, regularly. Put all dirty or infested clothes into plastic bags (infested means I've felt the slightest tickles) . All our clean clothes are in boxes, mine are in another room. We changeour clothes in the bathroom and leave them in plastic bags over night. I never sit on my bed in my day clothes. I sit on a chair with my feet on another chair and they both have bed bug blockers on the feet. I've tried most of the products you say dont work, and they dont. And yet.... we now have a bed bug invasion around every five days, more often at the moment.They seem to have evolved to stay in our clothing evenif I shake it out, which alwyas worked before. I also steam the walls. Most of our stuff is in plastic labelled bags in the attic. We barely use the rooms that are not bedrooms and the kitchen is the only place where we can sit for a time without feeling the creeepy crawly effect. These beasts are just made for survival.

I posted this as a reply. For more visibility posting by itself to help people out: There is a chemical that works 100% but it stinks. It's called Malathion. Spray entire room including furniture. Block off room from the rest of the house. Leave room for 24 hours. Repeat with other rooms. After 24 hours let rooms air out for at least few hours. Eventually, it will take months (incense / candles can speed things up) and smell will go away. Malathion also leaves residue that I would leave on base boards and stuff like that to help prevent possible future infestations. Good luck.

I’ve been getting bit for the past month but my girlfriend doesn’t get but at all and I’m covered in them we’ve bombed the room and we haven’t seen any but just now I lifted the sheet and I caught a super small one, I don’t see big ones, what do I do? If it’s not a infestation

At 0:45, what's the difference between the top and bottom rows? Is that males vs females, or two different species?

I’ve seen them underneath and around the dumpsters. I’m going to tell someone about it . I’m so disgusted 🤢.
