Life cycle

Habitat

Bedbugs are nocturnal insects that feed at night when their host is asleep. They can survive several months without feeding, which makes them very difficult to eliminate.

Bedbugs are about 5mm long and oval and flat in shape. They are usually reddish-brown in color and have a rough texture.

Bedbugs lay eggs which hatch into nymphs. The nymphs then evolve into adults through several stages of metamorphosis. Adults lay eggs again, forming a continuous cycle of reproduction.

Bed bugs can hide in many places, such as joints in furniture, cracks in walls, baseboards, headboards, mattresses, clothing, and backpacks. They can also move easily from one house to another.
