Bed Bugs

Posted on Monday, August 23rd, 2010 at 2:59 pm.

As we know Bed Bugs are running ramped in New York and New Jersey. Here are some facts that you should know:

  • Newly hatched nymphs are tiny—about 1/16th of an inch.
  • Nymphs become adults in 5 weeks.
  • Females can produce 5-7 eggs per week, laying up to 500 in a lifetime.
  • Bed bugs grow fastest and lay most eggs at about 80°F.
  • They feed only on blood.
  • They feed on people when they are sleeping or sitting quietly, often when it’s dark.
  • They live in cracks and crevices when not feeding.
  • Adults can live up to a year without eating.
  • Can be found in the cleanest places and clutter can make it very hard to get rid of.

  1. Excellent blog! I genuinely love how it is easy on my eyes and the details are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day!

  2. I visited New York this summer. Would you believe it? There were bedbugs in my pricey Manhatten hotel room. I ended up carrying them home with me. Oh what a chore to clean up.

      You can get the proper preparation and cleaning practice from our website. I hope it you seek professional help in removing and preventing them from returning.

      It goes to show you that this bug does not discriminate. It has nothing to do with your social nor financial status. We can bring one home from anywhere.

      Thank you for your comment

    It’s really amazing how bed bugs have made a comeback. When you’re a kid, your folks would always say “don’t let the bed bugs bite” but we never knew what they were. Now we do. Ewwwww…….
