How Many Eggs Do Bed Bugs lay At One Time

Bed bugs can reproduce quickly and this makes an infestation harder to fight. A person may wonder how many bed bugs can a female lay in a day.

Each adult female produces about one egg per day. Each bedbug egg takes 10 days to hatch and another five to six weeks for the offspring to develop into an adult.

One Day

The female is able to lay between 1 and 2 eggs each day. The bed bugs live between four and six months. In her lifetime a single female can lay between 200 and 300 eggs. This is only for one female. If a person has an infestation they may have a hundred or more eggs laid each day.

Eggs

The eggs take around 10 days to hatch. If the home is warm they may hatch sooner, if the home is cool it may take a little longer. Once the eggs hatch there can be several generations of bed bugs laying eggs in the home. With around 7 eggs each day from one-bed bug this can lead to ab big problem in no time.
