Tulsa pest control can stop bed bug infestations before they cause any damage. Bed bugs have a very high reproductive rate as one single female can lay up to 500 eggs in her lifetime. This means the infestation can get out of control before you notice it. They are also very small and detecting them is very difficult because they hide in hard-to-reach places. Bed bugs lay their eggs in a protective layer that can stick to any surface. So cleaning them off with traditional methods is difficult. Even bed bugs have developed resistance to over-the-counter insecticides. So, what can you do in this situation? A professional like Tulsa pest control can save you from them.
Bed bug eggs
Bed bugs lay eggs in hidden places and it is very hard for a human to detect their presence. They hide during the day and attack people at night, when they are most vulnerable. Female bed bugs lay their eggs in clusters which can even host dozens of eggs. This rate of reproduction makes it difficult to contain them and in most cases you need help from professionals like Tulsa pest control.
Bed bug eggs can hatch within 6 to 10 days. Although they prefer warmer weather, they can survive in cooler environments. Once they are hatched they start feeding on human blood. Bed bug eggs are about the size of a pinhead. They are pearl white in color and they can blend in with many surfaces. The eggs are oval and have a smooth surface that they use to stick to any surface.
Bed bug eggs require a warm environment for their optimal development. They need a temperature between 70°F and 80°F to hatch. Although they can survive in various environments, they cannot survive in excessive heat. Tulsa pest control knows about their weaknesses and can take advantage of it for an effective removal.
