Bed bug eggs need a period of warmth to develop before they hatch, and indoor temperatures make this happen in roughly one to two weeks. In typical indoor conditions, the incubation is about 6 to 17 days, with warmer settings tending toward the shorter end and cooler ones toward the longer end. That’s why 6–17 days is the best estimate for when eggs hatch. Times like 3–5 days are generally too short for egg development, while 18–25 days or 30–40 days exceed what’s commonly observed indoors.
