Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite  

/in /by

Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite, wake up bright in the morning light, to do what’s right with all your might.  At home we said “Good night sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite, if they crawl on the wall take a spoon and eat them all”. This is solid advice, sort of. Bed bugs have become progressively more of an issue in homes because of international travel and those second hand stores. By studying what bed bugs look like, you are able to identify them and save time and money in the long run. It normal takes about 3 and a half months for a bed bug to go from an egg to a reproducing adult but it can take longer if it’s current situation isn’t optimal. Female bed bug can lay hundreds of milky white eggs; one at a time or in bunches, and these eggs are hidden in cracks and crevices such as under baseboards, in the box spring, behind the headboard and a myriad of sneaky places. After several days, the eggs turns into the nymph stage which goes through 5 stages of growth (usually 5 weeks) and they shed their exoskeleton each time. The nymphs change from a light white-yellow colour into the reddish-brown colour. Once the adult bed bugs have developed, it needs to feed before it can start breeding.
