3. A single bed bug can lay 500 eggs!
Did you know even a single bed bug can be a reason for a whole new infestation? That’s because they are an egg laying machines. Bed bugs can lay 1-5 eggs a day which quickly adds up.

Out of 92 species only one has developed to target humans specifically. The common bed bug, scientifically called Cimex lectularius will climb over a dozen cats and dogs to get to a human. That’s because they aren’t good at navigating through the fur of your pet. In fact they can ingest up to 7 times their own weight which would be the equivalent of an average male drinking 120 GALLONS of liquid.
