How Long Can A Newly Hatched Bed Bug Live Without Feeding?
A newly hatched bed bug, also known as a nymph, can survive without feeding for several weeks under optimal temperature and humidity conditions. Some studies suggest that they can survive up to 70 days without a blood meal. However, prolonged hunger can affect their ability to develop into an adult and reproduce, and they will seek a host as soon as they sense the presence of carbon dioxide and body heat.
