Well, these insects don’t spread any disease that we know of, they are terrible nuisance, and something to know what you have to deal with. So in this article, let us take a good hard look at bed bugs, their life cycle, and what you and your Tulsa pest control company can do to protect yourselves from these insects.
BED BUG LIFECYCLE AND TULSA PEST CONTROL
Bed bugs develop using an incomplete metamorphosis. This means that after they hatch from their egg, a nymph will emerge. A nymph is a smaller version of the adult insects. This nymph will feed on blood just like the adults will. As it begins to grow, it will eventually outgrow the exoskeleton that it hatched with. At this point it will have to molt or remove its exoskeleton. Once it does, it will now have a new fresh exoskeleton that can continue to grow for sometime. The bed bug will have to go through five molts, before it finishes its lifecycle. Then it will be ready to mate with a another bed bug, and lay eggs.

DEALING WITH BED BUGS
If you’re having issues with bed bugs, you probably have already looked into many of the different over-the-counter solutions that are available. These solutions are in most cases useless. Bed bugs have a distinct ability to develop an immunity to chemicals used against them. Back in the 90s, there was a family of pesticides was used against bed bugs extensively known as pyrethrins. These pesticides were developed from, a natural occurring pesticide found in chrysanthemum plants. It was very safe and used extensively against them.
Overtime they grew a immunity to them, and now the over-the-counter solutions that you can find in your local hardware store are repackaged pyrethrum pesticides. Because of this, in almost every case, they have already developed an immunity against them, rendering these kinds of solutions useless.
