| Posted: 23 Nov 2010 12:00 AM PST Bedbugs are parasitic insects that feed upon the blood of humans however any mammal will do if humans are not present. Adults are oval, flat, mahogany in color and about the size of an apple seed. Young Bedbugs are smaller and opaque until they receive a blood meal. Female Bedbugs lay 1-5 eggs per day and eggs can hatch within 2 weeks, depending on conditions. Young Bedbugs molt (shed skin to grow) 5 times with each molt requiring a blood meal in between. Complete development can occur within a month if temperatures are ideal (70°F - 80°F) and food is plentiful. These tiny creatures hide in the seams of mattresses and box-springs and also the cracks and crevices of bed frames, head boards, night-stands, other furniture items, behind pictures and in electrical components |
