There are seven phases of the bed bug life cycle. The bed bug begins as a tiny translucent egg, which poses challenges for Houston exterminators. Since the egg is translucent and tiny, detecting it with the naked eye is nearly or completely impossible. “Larva” is the first stage of the bed bug’s life cycle. During this phase, the larva is no larger than 1.5 millimeters. To add on top of an already difficult bed bug inspection, exterminators are oftentimes left scratching their heads.

In the second, third, fourth, and fifth phases of the life cycle, the bed bug is still in a larva. The only difference is the size. By the time, the bed bug reaches the fifth larva phase, it has grown to 4-1/2 millimeters, which is still extremely small. Some exterminators have reported visual sightings of bed bug larva, possibly in the fourth or fifth phase of the life cycle.

The challenge exterminators face today when it comes to bed bugs is detection. During the early and middle phases of the life cycle, bed bugs are virtually undetectable. To overcome bed bug detection challenges, some exterminators have incorporated bed bug sniffing canines into their inspection processes. These certified, trained animals have proven to be very beneficial in the Houston pest control market.
