Bed bugs are known to multiply and spread quickly. And that makes those critters hard to completely get rid.
But that’s not just it. A new study has discovered that their living in a group is also significant factor to their continued prevalence.
The study was published on the Journal of Medical Entomology in its January 2014 issue with the title “Group Living Accelerates Bed Bug (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) Development.” Conducted by the researchers from the North Carolina State University, it particularly found out that group living makes bed bug nymphs develop 2.2 days faster than those living alone. To other age groups, it was discovered that the crowd also has the same effect.
Moreover, the research discovered as well that the eggs of those vampire-like insects do not need any interaction with the adults of the group to develop. And that led the study to conclude that nymphs and eggs require no help from them to survive and join another infestation.

Researchers from North Carolina State University found that bed bug nymphs developed 2.2 days faster than solitary nymphs — a signifcant 7.3% difference.”
