Adult bed bugs measure only an eighth of an inch in length, and are reddish-brown in color, with oval-shaped and flattened bodies. The immature nymphs resemble the adults but are smaller and lighter in colour.
Nymphs must molt five times before maturing and require a blood meal between each molt. Females can lay about five eggs a day and up to 500 in a lifetime. Eggs take 7-10 days to hatch. Without the aid of magnification, newly hatched nymphs are hard to see, and they are small enough to crawl through the stitching hole in a mattress.
Development from egg to adult takes approximately 30-60 days, under normal conditions (it can take much longer if adequate food is not available). If a blood host is not found, newly molted nymphs can survive close to two months, and adults can survive for an entire year without a blood meal.
When traveling be vigilant about bed bugs, check your hotel room, particularly your bedding. When returning home, thoroughly launder all clothing and thoroughly inspect suitcases ideally on the outside of the home.
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your property to identify pest types, entry points, and the severity of the infestation.
Based on our findings, we develop a targeted treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring effective and environmentally safe solutions.
After treatment, we provide guidance on preventive measures and schedule follow-up visits to ensure your property remains pest-free in the long term.
