Bed Bug Control Tips
With bed bugs they change colour through to dark red after they have gorged on a blood yes your blood – now that is a horrible thought! Although bed bugs are hard to distinguish as they are flat and thin means which makes detection difficult as they can hide in the narrowest crevices and cracks, making it very difficult for the naked eye to locate them. There are 2 main species that are commonly named the bed bug and they are called Cimex lectularius, and the other tropical bed bug called Cimex hemipterus. Until recently there was only one type of bug known in Australia but now the tropical version has also recently made a presence. Bed Bugs Developmental stages: In all there are 5 juvenile stages, which are known as nymphs, these are really only smaller versions of the adults in appearance. With each nymphal stage requires at least 1 blood meal to moult to the next stage and it takes between 5 to 10 minutes for complete engorgement to occur. The whole nymphal development takes approx 6 to 8 weeks; meantime the adult bed bugs can live on average for 6 to 12 months. The main food that both the nymphal and adult stages require for both sexes require blood for nutrition and for development. In the mating stage, each female lays 2 to 3 eggs a day throughout her lifespan. The light whitish coloured eggs are approx 1mm in length are cemented on rough surfaces of where they are hiding, and will hatch within around 10 days at room temperature, but longer in cooler conditions. You can see how it really doesn’t take much to have a bed bug epidemic as these pests can breed very quickly given the right conditions. As now you can see now how quickly a bed bug problem can multiply and get out of control without the correct treatment. What do bed bugs eat? 
These quiet nasty little bugs are especially adapted physically for piercing through skin and sucking blood your blood mainly is their favourite. As with any blood sucking arthropods, they inject saliva during feeding, which has anticoagulant properties. The bed bugs are more at home in the warmth and carbon dioxide of a host and quickly home in on a suitable feeding site.
