An adult bedbug must feed every 2-3 days, in order to remain viable. If they cannot find a host after this time has lapsed, then they will die. Immature bedbugs need to feed more often, so they will have to make their hiding place somewhere near their host. This does not mean that your luck in catching them in action will be in better.

To find out if you have a bedbug infestation, you should do a complete home investigation. You should start in your bedroom, since bedbugs normally reside in proximity of their host. Look for dark/black spots and small blood stains on your sheets, pillow cases, and mattresses. These dark spots are dead bedbug carcasses and the blood stains are actually from where the bedbug pierced your skin with their feeding tube.

Take a look around your electrical outlets, sofas, headboards, draperies, carpets, and mattresses. If you do actually see dark spots in these areas, then you are most likely suffering from a major infestation. An adult female bedbug is capable of hatching 200 eggs within her lifetime, which means they these little parasites will multiply extremely quickly.
