- Breaking the lifecycle at the right stage is critical
Reproduction Rate
- A single female can produce hundreds of offspring in weeks
- Populations double every 7-14 days in ideal conditions
- By the time you see one, dozens are likely hidden
Survival Tactics
- Bed Bugs hide in wall voids, cracks, and crevices
- Many develop resistance to over-the-counter products
- They follow pheromone trails โ invisible highways in your home
