After a single blood meal, a female bed bug will produce between 1- 7 eggs per day for about 10 days. To produce more eggs, the female must feed again.
60 percent of the eggs will hatch when they are 6 days old, at room temperature (>70° F); >90 percent will have hatched by the time they are 9 days old.
Due to a large amount of eggs a female can produce under optimal conditions (temperatures >70° F but < 90° F, and in the presence of a host), a bed bug population can double every 16 days.
Lowering ambient temperature (to 50° F), egg hatch time can be increased by several days.
A wandering female can lay an egg anywhere in a room. Eggs can be laid singly or in groups.
From a single blood meal, a female can produce between 5 and 20 eggs.
Under finest conditions, egg mortality is low and roughly 97% of the bed bug eggs hatch successfully.
The number of male and female eggs produced is about the same (1:1 ratio).
In her whole life, a single female can produce about 113 eggs.
