Common Bed Bug Questions
How Did they Get Here?
Bed bugs often come into a home via secondhand articles and furniture. They may also migrate between homes via wires, plumbing, or rain gutters.
Do they spread?
Bed Bugs prefer stationary hiding spots. They can spread if their hiding spot gets moved from house to house, or from hotel to home.
Where do bed bugs live and hide?
About three quarters of bed bugs stay near where people sleep. The other quarter of them hide in cracks and crevices around the room, in furniture joints and baseboards. Clutter offers more places for the bugs to hide. It also makes it more difficult to find and eliminate them.
What can bed bugs do to me?
Bed bugs live off of blood, usually human blood. They also feed on the blood of mice, so make sure you get rid of rodents as well. The feeding itself does not cause pain. Victims may experience an itchy rash or bumps in response to the bites. Some never get any visible bumps.
For the most part, negative effects of bed bugs are mental more than physical. They can cause their victims and their households legitimate stress and insomnia. Nonetheless, those itchy bites can’t be ignored either. Bed bugs are not vectors of serious disease. But if you can’t stop scratching the bites, you risk a secondary infection.
How long do bed bugs live?
The lifespan of a bed bug can vary depending on its species and how many blood meals it can find. The bugs are known to live at least 6 to 12 months.
Can heat kills bed bugs?
Bed bugs can survive a wide range of temperatures. But a combination of heat and drying has proven effective at killing them.
Studies have shown that all stages of life are killed by seven minutes of exposure to a heat of 115 °F. Other studies have found that bed bug eggs were only be destroyed after 90 minutes of exposure to 118 °F. Running affected clothes through a regular dryer on high heat for an hour can sometimes work to kill the bugs.
How long can they survive in fabric?
Bedbugs can live on sheets, in a pile of laundry, really anywhere. They can survive two to three months in your clothing and fabrics without a blood meal. They can live up to a year or more with access to blood.
How often do bed bugs reproduce and how many babies do they have?
After a blood feed, a female bedbug lays one to seven eggs per day. In a lifetime of 12 months, she can lay some 500 eggs, so the problem can get out of control quickly.
What if I’m not sure I have Bed Bugs?
A thorough inspection by a professional bed bug exterminator can confirm if you have an actual bed bug infestation.
