There are bed bug colonies all around us. They can be found in hotels, apartments, dormitories, cruise ships and even in moving boxes! That’s why it’s not a surprise that they’ve reached epidemic levels. If you suffer from a severe infestation, you probably want to do everything to get rid of them. But what is the best way? Have you ever wondered where bed bugs come from? That’s actually a difficult question to answer. It’s not because scientists don’t know the answer, it’s simply because there are many different answers depending on what species of bed bug, and at what stage of its life cycle. Because of this, it can actually be hard to understand how a colony of bed bugs is established. A bed bug colony can be formed from a lone female that comes out at night and deposits eggs. Multiply these eggs by the hundreds and you soon have enough for a colony. Bed bug colonies are a problem for some landlords and home owners because of the return, or infestation, of bed bugs. To avoid this type of problem, learn all you can about bed bugs and how to eliminate them so they do not form colonies in the first place.
Bed Bug Colonies
Bed bugs may not be too far from you, they may be hiding in a bed bug colony nearby.
Bed bugs are not dangerous or harmful, but they can be a nuisance to have around. Colonies of bed bugs form when bed bugs find a place to hide and feed, such as your mattress or in another nearby location.
While it is possible for an isolated adult bug to hide in your home for long periods of time without being detected, if you see clusters of these insects together it is likely that there is already an infestation present. If this is the case then you will need professional help with getting rid of them before they multiply further!
Bed bug colonies can be formed in any type of home or business, not just hotels and other lodging.
Bed bug colonies can be formed in any type of home or business, not just hotels and other lodging. Bed bugs do not discriminate against the type of structure they infest, nor its location. They have been found in homes, apartments, offices and businesses of all sorts. This includes everything from high rises to single family homes; apartments to mansions; motels to mansions; hotels to hospitals.
Bed bugs are attracted to areas where humans rest for long periods of time, so apartments, homes and hotels are particularly popular places for bed bugs to hide in.

Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but their bites leave itchy red marks on the skin that may last up to 10 days. The itching caused by a bed bug bite can cause sleeplessness or anxiety if left untreated. Bed bug infestations should be reported to your local health department immediately so they can be treated quickly before they spread within your home or hotel room.
Bed bug colonies use pheromones and a chemical that smells like rotting raspberries.
Bed bug colonies use pheromones to communicate, and a chemical scent that smells like rotting raspberries.
Pheromones are chemical substances that are secreted by an organism to trigger a social response in another member of the same species. They are particularly important in mating and feeding behavior, but also play a role in other behaviors such as defense and alarm reactions. Most insects release pheromones through their antennae or through their body surface (skin). The odors produced by the organism can be strong enough to be detected by human beings at close range. However, the extent of this ability varies among different insects. For example, ants communicate primarily by touch; therefore they have very well developed senses of touch (tactile sensing) for detecting objects near them (within about 10 mm distance). As far as we know from current research on bed bugs’ sense organs (a few studies have been conducted on this topic), there is no evidence that bed bugs have developed any form of tactile sensing at all so far – their sense organs do not seem capable even at close range!
In a bed bug colony, there are different groups of bed bugs that form a life cycle from egg to adult.
Bed bug colonies form a life cycle from egg to adult. There are different groups of bed bugs that form a colony structure, each with its own specific role.
Adult females lay one or more eggs each day, which hatch into nymphs after a few days. The nymphs need to feed 5 times before they become adults themselves, but they can survive without feeding for 5 months! Adult females can survive without feeding for a full year!
Bed bugs will form a colony and procreate until their population has reached the maximum within their environment.
When a bed bug colony is established, they will continue to reproduce until the population reaches its maximum within the environment. Bed bugs do not need a lot of space to procreate, just enough room to hide. The female will lay eggs every day and those eggs can hatch quickly if there are enough resources available for them to feed on. This means that bed bug populations can grow very fast when left unchecked!
Because humans provide the perfect environment for them (warmth, food), bed bugs can form colonies in any type of home or business.
The bed bug is a parasite that feeds on human blood. Bed bugs can be found in apartments, hotels, hospitals and any other residence where people live or visit. Because humans provide the perfect environment for them (warmth, food), bed bugs can form colonies in any type of home or business.
Bed bugs have been known to feed on animals as well but will prefer human blood if given a choice. They are most commonly found in bedrooms because this is where we sleep at night and where it’s easiest for them to find us. Bed bug bites can cause irritation to the skin and itching; however their bites do not transmit diseases like mosquitoes do!
