A single female can lay up to 200 eggs in her lifetime, so if even one-bed bug is missed, the infestation can come back in a matter of months (or years in some cases).
How long does it take for bed bugs to come back?
You need to know the period within which bed bugs make a comeback. It's 6-8 weeks after treatment. Within this period, the bed bugs, if they're alive, will breed and show up again. But remember, it's not the case with heat treatment because heat treatment destroys the bed bugs, eggs, and newborns.
Can bed bugs return even after treatment? Unfortunately, yes, but that is often the result when treatment is applied incorrectly. Remember, just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't in your home. Treating the infested area is a start, but it is often a small part of the overall problem.
