This article will help you understand what to look for as you try and determine if your bed bug problem has only been active for a short time or if it’s been going on for a while. Life cycle of a bed bugs includes their eggs, nymphs and adults. Bed bug life cycle is the journey from one stage to another in the life of a bed bug. This journey involves egg, six nymphal stages (instars) and then finally an adult female and male that mate to produce eggs. The immature stages are called nymphs and they vary in color as they grow.

Checking for Bed Bugs

If you suspect that your home may have bed bugs, here are some things to look for:

• Bed Bugs in Bed Frame and Mattress

• Look inside the crevices of the mattress, box spring and bed frame for tiny dark spots (excrement) or shed skins.

• If possible, remove the mattress from its frame and flip it over. Inspect all sides of the mattress thoroughly looking for any signs of bed bugs or their eggs. Check seams on mattresses as well to see if there is evidence of bed bug activity (dark stains).

• Bedding & Linens

• Check all linens including sheets, pillowcases, comforters and blankets for tiny blood spots which will appear red when viewed under a blacklight. Once again this can be an indication that there is early infestation before they become larger adults that feed more frequently on people instead of just sucking their blood while they sleep at night without being noticed until later stages when most people don’t realize how much damage has already been done before seeking professional help..

Bed Bug Bites

The bites of bed bugs can be a telltale sign that you have been invaded by these pests. Bed bug bite symptoms are red, itchy bumps on your skin that may or may not have a bullseye pattern. The bites can look like flea or mosquito bites, but they’re more likely to appear in groups (from one to hundreds) and they don’t always itch. These bite marks are usually not painful but could become infected if scratched or picked at excessively.

Bite reactions vary from person to person; some people will experience intense itching while others won’t feel much of anything at all! If you think that you have been bitten by bed bugs, be sure to check out our guide on how to remove them from your home—and get rid of those pesky nips for good!

Eggs, Larvae and Nymphs

Nymphs (also known as “bed bug babies”) are the second stage in the life cycle of a bed bug. After molting from its egg, the nymph will grow and shed its skin several times in order to reach maturity. Once they reach maturity, they can begin feeding.

Nymphs can consume human blood but unlike adults, they do not need it every day. They can go into a dormant stage where they may not feed for months at a time! This means that even if you don’t see any signs of bed bugs (eggs or live bugs), you still could have an infestation going on in your home!

Adult Bed Bugs

The adult bed bug is 1/4 to 5/16th of an inch long (5-8 mm), oval-shaped and reddish brown in color. Bed bugs are not flattened like other insects, but instead have a rounded shape. Adult female bed bugs lay about 200 eggs in their lifetime, which can last from 4 to 6 months.

Know how to identify all stages of a bed bug infestation

Know how to identify all stages of a bed bug infestation. Eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults are all visible during the life cycle of a bed bug. This can help you identify if your home has an infestation.

• Eggs are tiny white specks that look like dandruff or scurf on your mattress or sheets. They can also be found in crevices near the bed like baseboards in bedrooms and bathrooms.
• Larvae appear as small moving dots that are black or brownish in color with red eyes (nymphs). You may not see them until they become adult bed bugs because they tend to hide inside cracks and crevices during their early stages of development. -The size of an adult ranges between 4mm – 6mm long depending on their stage when they hatched from their egg cocoon which means it’s very hard to spot them without using professional equipment such as cameras since most people don’t know what they look like!
