Bed Bug Cam

DAY 72 and still kicking!!!

Betty the Bedbug has been in captivity since the 6th of March 2008 and is currently dormant...

Bedbugs are on the rise in the US and Canada. They are not just creatures of myth and legend but a real nuisance here in Halifax and abroad!

This specimen was captured on March 6th 2008 and I plan to leave it in this tube until it finally expires.

That could take months...

Having bedbugs does not mean you are dirty. Reducing clutter in your living space will help limit their breeding environment. There are plenty of international travelers that bring these bloodsuckers home with them each year! All it takes is one...

The life cycle of a bed bugs are egg, hatched to nymph in 4-12 days they begin feeding immediately, There are 5 nymphal stages for bed bugs go to adult bed bugs in 30-50 day and they shed their skin five times before becoming adults bed bugs. Adult bed bugs can survive for 6-7 months without a blood meal and have been known to live in abandoned houses for 1 year.bed bugs females lay about 200 eggs, usually at the rate of 3-4 a day, in cracks and crevices in the floor or bed and start a new life cycle of a bed bugs.

If you suspect having them do not hesitate to call a local pest management agency. There are no effective domestic treatments available on the market to handle these pests. You're best bet is contacting a licensed pest management professional in your area to get the best method of treatment.
