Additional research suggests that pyrethroid resistant bed bugs developed faster but produced fewer eggs than the susceptible strain bed bugs. Additional evaluations also indicate that field strain bed bugs may not survive the long periods of starvation previously suggested.<ref>http://esa.confex.com/esa/2009/webprogram/Paper44657.html</ref>
