Bed bugs have a lifespan of five to six months. However, if they are in an uninhabited house and lack food, they can go into a state of dormancy, a form of hibernation, which allows them to live for more than a year, or even two, without ever feeding. This is a characteristic that makes this insect an extremely difficult pest to eradicate, which requires treatment by a professional bed bug extermination specialist.
