Appearance of Bed bugs
Bed bugs are small insects about 5 to 7 mm in length. They are reddish brown in color and after feeding on blood they turn red. Bed bugs attack us at night when we are most vulnerable. They prefer humans and other warm-blooded animals. They do not come out during the day and hide in dark spaces such as cracks or holes which make them difficult to spot. They detect human presence by the warmth and carbon dioxide emitted by us. They silently attack us and feed on us for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Female bed bugs are responsible for the growth of the colony. They lay tiny eggs about 1 mm in length in hidden places. The eggs take about 6 to 10 days to hatch and they immediately start feeding.
Bed bug nymphs almost resemble adult bed bugs, although they are smaller and lighter in color. In life, they go through five molting stages and they need blood meal in each stage. Bed bugs can live up to a year but it depends largely on the environment. They can survive without food for a long time which makes them challenging to eliminate but Tulsa pest control can deal with them.
