One of the important fact is to identify since when your home is infestated with bed bugs. This information will help not only to understand how badly you are affected bt these blood sucking pests but also decide the line of treatment to be applied for their extermination.

However, we must be sure that the pests to which we are identifying as 'bed bug' is actually not any other similar looking pest. Once you have confirmed that your premises has been really attacked by bed bugs, we may then assume that they have been around at least since 7 weeks. This is because generally it takes at least 7 weeks for a bed bug to grow from an egg to an adult, so there should be no new adults from eggs during that period.

It takes nymphs around 100 days for the 5 molts to occur before mating can take place. Usually 6 to 8 weeks are required for a complete cycle from egg to mated adult bed bug. Adult bed bugs live about 10 months, although without a host, bed bugs may live over a year.
