Bed bugs are small, blood-feeding insects that can cause big problems. Not only are their bites itchy and uncomfortable, but they can also multiply at an astonishing rate, turning a small problem into a full-blown infestation in a surprisingly short amount of time.

WHAT ARE BED BUGS?

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are tiny, flat, oval-shaped insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are reddish-brown in color, about the size of an apple seed, and are most active at night.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH: HOW QUICKLY THEY MULTIPLY

Bed bugs multiply fast—really fast. A single female bed bug can lay 1 to 5 eggs per day, which adds up to 200 to 500 eggs in her lifetime.

* Egg Stage: Eggs hatch in about 6 to 10 days.
* Nymph Stage: After hatching, bed bugs go through 5 nymph stages. Each stage takes about 5 to 7 days, and they need a blood meal to molt (shed their skin) and grow.
* Reproductive Maturity: In about 5 to 8 weeks, nymphs mature into adults and can start reproducing.

Under ideal conditions—warmth, food (blood), and hiding places—a small infestation can explode into thousands of bed bugs in just a few months.
