Bedbugs in Northwest Ohio
Bed bugs, scientifically known as Cimex lectularius, are small parasitic insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals, particularly humans. Their life cycle consists of three main phases: egg, nymph, and adult. Firstly, female bed bugs lay tiny, whitish eggs in clusters, usually in hidden crevices near their host's resting places. These eggs hatch into nymphs, which resemble smaller versions of the adult bed bugs but are translucent and lighter in color. Nymphs require blood meals to molt and progress through five immature stages, shedding their exoskeletons each time. Finally, after several feedings and molts, the nymphs reach adulthood. Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown, flat, and about the size of an apple seed. They are capable of reproducing, and under favorable conditions, they can live for several months to over a year, continuing the cycle if left unchecked. Infestations can be challenging to eradicate due to their elusive nature and resistance to many common pesticides.
