Bed Bug Treatment Systems
The rapid resurgence of the bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., is perhaps the hottest pest management topic of the day. Over the past few years they have caught the nation completely off guard, as illustrated by the increasing number of national news reports revolving around bed bugs. There has been a 500 percent increase in U.S. bed bug incidents in the last few years, and infestations have risen tenfold since 1996 in parts of London.*
Female bed bugs may lay from 200 to 500 eggs, in batches of 10 to 50. The eggs are covered with a glue and hatch in about 10 days. There are five progressively larger nymphal stages, each require a single blood meal before molting to the next stage. The entire life cycle from egg to adult requires anywhere from 5 weeks to 4 months, depending on temperature. Bed bugs can go without feeding for 80 to 140 days. Adults have survived without food for as long as 550 days. A bed bug can take six times its weight in blood and feeding can take 3 to 10 minutes. Adults live about 10 months and there can be up to 3 to 4 generations of bed bugs per year.** Temperatures of about 120°F are lethal to most insects provided they cannot escape to a cooler location. Pest-Heat Thermal Pest Management exploits this vulnerability to heat by offering a complete line of bed bug heat treatment and remediation equipment.
