My New Jersey neighbor asked me yesterday if bed bugs were really real. Anyone who has ever experienced a bed bug infestation will tell you that it is a complete nightmare.
Being quite small and striking their prey (people) when they are in the most deepest part of slumber; bed bugs are the most disagreeable house guest.
There is a National Geographic bed bug segment on YouTube that everyone should consider viewing. Be forewarned though, that it will likely make your skin crawl just viewing this horrible parasite in action.
Bed bugs can lay between one and five eggs per day. The incubation period for an egg is about ten days. It only takes five blood feedings for a newly hatched bed bug to reach adult size. Once mature, they will begin the process of laying new eggs. With the amazing speed that bed bugs can multiply, one bedroom can become infested in a very short period of time. If the infestation is bad, it would not be uncommon for a person to experience 500 bites per night. You could even experience Anemia because of the loss of blood to these blood suckers. Bed bugs typically feed on the blood of humans, but if necessary they will suck the blood from other animals as well.
