Bedbugs

Adult Bed Bugs are 5-7mm and 1-4mm during nymph stages. Adult bedbugs have been known to survive with out feeding for around 8 months to over 1 year. Each female lays about 4-7 eggs per day. The eggs hatch between 9-15 days. The life cycle from an egg to an adult takes between 32-48 days, undergoing 5 molts with proper feeding and warmer temp.

This is unlikely. You need to understand people do not normally carry bedbugs around with them. It isa bed not a person that gets infested with bedbugs! Thus whoever sleeps in an infested bed will have a bedbug problem only while they are using that bed, but when they get up and go elsewhere the bedbug problem no longer affects them. They may have bite marks on their body afterwards as a consequence of being bitten while in that bed but that does not mean they can pass their former bedbug problem to somebody else. If two people share use of an infested bed then both are equally likely to get bitten by one or more bedbugs while they are in that bed, and although this could happen during a hug, generally bedbugs only crawl on to you to have a meal when your body is still after detecting your sleeping CO2 breath. If you are making love your bodies will be moving around considerably so a bedbug is very unlikely to come on to you until later when it is safer for it to have its meal undisturbed.

CAN THEY? yes. Do they tend to? no. While they CAN live anywhere that would/will safely harbor them, all accounts suggest that they are not attracted to houseplant. Nor do they prefer such places. If you're a indoor/tropical/house-plant enthusiast with a large or personally valuable collection, and are concerned about the possibility of a stray (/strays) bed bug in one of your plants during or prior to treatment...try one of the following:

1 part rubbing alcohol, to 2 parts water mix

-or-

Neem oil mix

Proceed to mist your beloved plants with one of the above solutions. ALWAYS be sure to use chemicals is well/properly ventilated areas. While moderate exposure to rubbing alcohol fumes is not dangerous or fatal, long term exposure can be unhealthy. ALWAYS err on the side of caution ! Lastly, some plant varities are more sensative to certain chemicals, so research collectible varities like Jewel Orchids etc prior to treatment.

Bedbug form after bedbug nymphs hatch out of eggs laid by female bedbugs. Bedbug eggs which look like a grain of salt ;aid on hard surfaces stick to the surface and so may be unwittingly brought into a home in second hand beds or furniture bought or in clothing. When the eggs hatch the nymph is able to detect the breath of any person sleeping. It will be attracted to the sauce of that breath, that is to the bed in which somebody is asleep. It will climb up to that bed and find the sleeping person and have its first meal by sipping the blood of the person asleep in that bed After its meal it will find a hiding place close to the sleeper, which may be in the bed such as in a fold or crevice in the mattress or somewhere nearby such as in furniture near the bed. It will then come out again for more meals over next few weeks and after each meal it sheds its skin and grows om size. After five skin shedding after meals it will have become an adult bedbug and ot can then breed to create more bedbug so in time females lay more eggs in or near that bed so when they hatch causing a bedbug infestation of that person's bed. That is how they form in beds.

A bed hide inside of your bed they have special fangs the lets them dig inside of your bed but the bed bugs are so small you can not see the wholes they left and when one comes a million more will come they are very hard to get read of so if you keep waking up and you get a rash and start to itch all the time you have bed bugs but some people think if they got a rash from their bed they have bed bugs but sometimes if you sleep a different way you will get a rash or start to itch but if it keeps happening over and over again you have bed bugs if you do you have to by a new bed and you also have to go to the doctor to get the rash away or you g=can get very sick from them if you don't go to the doctor.If you see a lot of little bugs in your bed then more then likely you have bed bugs,they travel a lot so if you leave food around that will not atract them.

One can find pictures of bed bug bites by inquiring doctors or educational health books to see what they look like. They are small, bumpy little red marks on the skin that look not overwhelming, but noticeable.

Bedbugs require blood to survive as it is their only food source. Bedbugs prefer humans but will feed upon other mammals if humans are not present.

Yes they do, in some cases, make the inside of a book their hiding place if the book is fairly close to the bedwhere their host sleeps. They will generally only do this if there is already a very heavy infestation of that bedroom and all available space in the bed, bedding and nearby furniture is already in use by other bedbugs.

There are many bugs living inside your body. They all live in different places. Some live in your heart while others can live in the stomach or the brain. Every 4 months or so bugs have the opportunity to go on holiday. This involves them walking to their nearest airport and catching a plane to other organs. Some bugs have evolved to create shops where they sell their merchandise to other bugs who have come on holiday from another organ. Many people do not believe that this is happening but this is all a part of nature and is happening to everybody.

If you have a heavy infestation, you will notice a very sweet smell, caused by the bed bugs.

No .You do not "catch bedbugs", beds and sleeping places do. So if you sleep in a hotel bed that has a bedbug problem, whether you sleep in that bed by yourself or share it with somebody else, you may well get bitten by a bedbug while you are sleeping in that bed. It is most unlikely that you will take the problem away with you. Unless, as sometimes happened, a female bedbug in your room finds your luggage open and goes in there to lay its eggs or else if you leave your clothes lying around, a bedbug lays its eggs in them. Only if that does happen you could well take the bedbug eggs home with you without realising it. Then the eggs may hatch somewhere in your home iand newly born bedbug nymphs crawl out of the luggage or clothing. Nymphs can detect the breath of anybody asleep over considerable distances, and they will immediately make for the source of that breath which will be somebody's bed in your home perhaps your bed. Once it has found you by following the trail to your breath it will have the urge to climb into your bed and bite you to have its first meal. Once it has done that, you have a bedbug problem in your bed, because it will not return to where it was born but it will find a hiding place very close to where you sleep. It will then come out and bite you again on subsequent nights while you are asleep until the nymphs become adults and lay more eggs so more bedbugs get born in or near your bed, until it becomes a serious infestation..

The best place to find this info is at the Bed Bug Registry (Google it). Should you need to get a refund and are denied, inform the manager/owner that they will be listed on this registry. This will get their attention.

It will itch and you develop a mosquito like bite mark that usually comes in an arrangement of 3.

Bedbugs are not like fleas; bedbugs do not jump. They crawl and like dark places where people sit or lie for long periods of time... on beds or couches, or on sheets and pillows. So unless the room is completely overtaken by a huge population of bedbugs, you shouldn't carry them out with you unless your pant legs get near upholstered furniture or bed. Many people get them in infested hotel rooms because they put clothes on the bed, then into the suitcase, and take them home with them.

My pediatrician said that flea bites tend to be spread farther apart than bed bug bites. Fleas jump around and bite sporadically. Bed bugs crawl on you and will bite several times in a row, so you could see three or more bites in a row right next to each other; fleas won't do that. Both types itch.

Yes they can; however, they prefer areas where they can easily obtain a blood meal when the host lays down. A pillow may get folded and block the exit for the bed bugs to get to the host. They prefer seams, cracks, and other "open" tight spaces.

"Bed Bugs" can, in fact, get into your bed, in your bed, and on your bed.

They can but generally it will be the bed area & nearby furniture first. They tend to congregate in cracks like roaches & if you have ever seen roach droppings, they look similar. Pay particular attention to any wood trim & look around screw holes or any seams with piping. They will tend to stay towards the surface & not get too deep inside. Don't permit a heat treatment if fabric held on with adhesive-it will come unglued.

Bed bugs are parasites that preferentially feed on humans. If people aren't available, they instead will feed on other warm- blooded animals, including birds, rodents, bats, and pets.

Bed bugs have been documented as pests since the 17th century. They were introduced into our country by the early colonists. Bed bugs were common in the United States prior to World War II, after which time widespread use of synthetic insecticides such as DDT greatly reduced their numbers. Improvements in household and personal cleanliness as well as increased regulation of the used furniture market also likely contributed to their reduced pest status.

Although above answer is basically correct, it needs to be noted Wikiamswers/answer.com is a worldwide site not exclusive to the USA and similarly bedbugs are a worldwide problem that affect peoples in tropical, temperate and cold climates worldwide and there is no nation in the world that does not have them. It is also incorrect to imply that poor personal hygiene is what attracts them into a home. According to pest extermination specialists here in the UK, where we have had a 700% increase in infestations over past five years, most new infestations seem to occur in the most spotlessly clean homes with high standards of hygiene. The commonest way they seem to get into homes is when bedbug eggs laid in people's luggage when they were away on holiday hatch and the newly born bugs are attracted to beds in their new home by the CO2 breathed out by people asleep in that home during the night.

Typically, spiders are blamed for 'mystery bites' by most people finding a strange bump or bite. This is a flawed hand-me-down fear based method of approach, as unless your home is infested by clearly identified venomous spiders, most spiders found in your home do more to improve your environment via killing and eating pest species...than they will ever do to endanger said environment. Spiders are one of the most effective natural methods by which insect populations are kept in check. Additionally, many common spiders don't possess fangs with the strength needed to penetrate human skin effectively.
