Bed bugs are resilient pests. They can survive for up to a year without feeding, and have recently been found to be resistant to most traditional insecticides. Each bed bug lays around 200 eggs at a time, and can hide inside mattresses, sofas, pictures, and wallpaper. This means that simply throwing out your mattress is not enough. The entire room must be thoroughly inspected and treated.
