For many homeowners in Pennsylvania, bed bugs are an invisible threat—until they’re not. The key to protecting your home (and your sleep) is understanding how quickly these pests can grow from an unnoticed nuisance to a full-blown infestation.
At Ned’s Pest Control, we believe the best defense is good information. Here’s what every homeowner should know about the bed bug life cycle—and when to take action.
Bed bug eggs are tiny—about the size of a grain of salt—and often laid in hidden cracks, seams, or behind headboards.
Once hatched, bed bugs go through five nymphal stages, each requiring a blood meal to grow.
Fully grown bed bugs are about ¼ inch long, reddish-brown, and flat—unless they’ve just fed.
Under the right conditions, a single female and her offspring can result in thousands of bed bugs within a few months. That’s why early detection is critical.
Bed bugs won’t go away with DIY sprays. Professional treatment is the most effective way to eliminate them at every life stage. At Ned’s Pest Control, we build personalized treatment plans designed for your home—and follow through until the issue is solved.
