People seldom see bedbug eggs. This is partly because they are very small. Each egg is about 1/323. Bedbug eggs are about the same size as very coarse grains of sand.
Cold temperatures affect bedbug eggs. In a favorable environment – about 70° — the eggs will hatch in a week or two.
At 57°, eggs take almost six weeks to hatch. If the temperature is below 55°, the eggs will often not hatch at all. Scientists think that in winter, bedbugs will try to migrate from a vacant home or apartment into a warmer environment.
It is extremely important to eliminate clutter and reduce hiding places for bed bugs. Reduce clutter to the bare necessities to make treatments more effective.
Chemical Treatments. Non-chemical methods (vacuuming, steaming, laundering, mattress encasement) will be helpful in bed bug control, but, by themselves, are not likely to eradicate the bed bug population. This means insecticides must be used to treat bed bug harborage areas. Insecticide treatments in sleeping areas are a potential health risk so it is very important to use products which can be safely used in bedrooms. Do not treat mattresses or bed linens unless the insecticide label specifically says you can treat them. Read all product labels carefully!
All bed bug hiding places must be identified and treated. Use liquid treatments on surfaces and dusts in void areas. Because treating all the areas where bed bugs hide is difficult, we recommend hiring an experienced pest control professional. Pest control professionals also have more choices of insecticides, which may improve the effectiveness of control.
Hot temperatures can also affect bedbug eggs. Scientists found that at 98.5°, bedbug eggs would not hatch. They also found that temperatures above 113° would kill adult bedbugs.
Since heat can kill bedbugs, many pest control professionals use steam equipment to treat mattresses, box springs, and other sensitive surfaces. This treatment kills bedbugs and their eggs where they have been hiding. This treatment also minimizes damage to the fabric and leaves no odor or toxic residue on surfaces where people will sleep.
