21. Understanding the bed bug life cycle

Understanding the life cycle of bed bugs can be beneficial in combating an infestation. Bed bugs go through several stages - from eggs to nymphs to adults. Knowing this can help you better identify their presence and focus your eradication efforts accordingly. For instance, heat treatments may be more effective during the egg stage, whereas certain insecticides are better for adult bugs.
