Bedbugs: Simple Methods to Eradicate Them from Your Home
How Do Bedbugs Live?
1. Life Cycle and Reproduction
- A female bedbug lays 200–500 eggs in her lifetime.
- Eggs hatch within 6–10 days, and the young bedbugs (nymphs) go through five growth stages before becoming adults.
- They can live for 6–12 months, depending on environmental conditions.
- Bedbugs can survive months without feeding, making them difficult to eliminate completely.
2. Where Do Bedbugs Hide?
Bedbugs are nocturnal and hide in dark, warm places near their food source. Common hiding spots include:
- Mattresses, bed frames, and headboards.
- Cracks and crevices in furniture and walls.
- Carpets, curtains, and upholstery.
- Electrical outlets and behind wallpapers
