The subject of bed bug eggs pictures is a nasty one and no one likes to think about it, but it is important for us to know what to look for. The eggs are going to be tiny and without a magnifying glass you will probably never see them. This makes it helpful that we can enlarge these pictures and study what the eggs look like up close. Our goal is to be able to identify them and work with an exterminator so they can get rid of the problem in your home. These are all pictures of bed bug eggs…I guess it’s a good thing they don’t look appetizing! I’ll try to identify the eggs below, but let me know if you see one that isn’t listed. You can also check the rest of this blog for more information about identifying these pesky insects.

How Do Bed Bugs Reproduce?

Bed bugs can lay up to five eggs per day, with a female’s lifetime egg production estimated at 200-250 eggs. The first clutch of eggs will be laid after 5-10 days of feeding and mating. Newly-hatched nymphs need to feed within five minutes or they will die.

Adult bed bugs mate every evening, with males spending around 10 minutes copulating, according to the University of Kentucky Division of Entomology. Females will mate with more than one male and are capable of laying up to five eggs per day, more when food is plentiful. After fertilization, a female bed bug will lay her first clutch of eggs after five to 10 days and continue to do so every five to 10 days for the next three to four weeks. A single bed bug can lay 200 to 250 eggs over its life span.

A single bed bug can lay 200 to 250 eggs over its life span. The life span of a bed bug is usually dependent on conditions like temperature, humidity and food availability—and can range from six months in some areas to over two years in others (e.g., Antarctica).

Do You Know Your Bed Bug From Your Flea?

Both fleas and bed bugs are parasites, though they look very different. Fleas have narrower bodies than bed bug adults and young nymphs, and their legs are longer. Their antennae also stick out from the sides of their heads rather than being tucked into them like a bed bug’s antennae.

Like many other insects, flea eggs are small and round; they’re typically yellowish-white when laid by adult females in your home or apartment. The size of a flea egg alone isn’t enough to identify it as such; you’ll need to know how big a typical adult female is as well (about 1/16″ long).

Flea bites tend to be random around your body—you might find one on an elbow or knee while another appears on your neck or chest. After feeding on blood for several days at one location, the flea moves around again before laying its eggs—making sure not all of its offspring hatch at once! It may take several weeks for all its eggs to develop into adults – so if you see multiple bites in various locations over time – there could still be some hungry pests biting down every now and then!

Bed bugs range from 1 mm long as nymphs and from 5 mm to 7 mm as adults. Their flat bodies allow them to hide easily in cracks and crevices. They are a reddish-brown color and appear swollen, white or tan after feeding. Their bites appear in clusters or lines, unlike flea bites that look like small red dots. A bed bug’s life cycle consists of five stages: egg, nymph, nymph 2, nymph 3, and adult. Adult bed bugs grow less than 1/4 inch in length over a period of two months and live for up to 18 months on average. These insects aren’t known to transmit disease but can cause loss of sleep due to nervousness over their presence, as well as skin reactions such as inflammation and blisters.

Bed bugs are small insects that are reddish brown in color and have flat bodies. They can be found anywhere from heavily traveled areas to remote locations, even in your home. Bed bug bites often appear as red marks on the skin along with itching, swelling and irritation to the surrounding area. Their bites resemble those of other common pests such as fleas rather than mosquitoes or spiders. Bed bugs will leave behind dark spots where they’ve fed on human blood for up to five minutes at a time — these spots may appear anywhere on your body but tend to congregate around joints, folds of skin and near the neckline (source).

Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?

Bed bugs can be found in many places. They are most commonly found in bedrooms, but they can hide in any room where people sleep. Bed bugs can also be found in any crevice or space under furniture or behind baseboards or moldings. They have even been known to live for extended periods of time (weeks) within walls and other areas of the home as well as inside electrical sockets and other small openings.

Bed bugs may spread from one room to another by crawling along wires, pipes and other items that are attached to walls or floors. This is one reason why it is important not only to inspect all areas of your home but also any shared spaces such as hallways and bathrooms. If you find evidence of bedbugs at work or school, notify the appropriate personnel immediately so that the infestation does not spread further into other areas of your building which could lead to additional problems with management companies/tenants’ associations etcetera
