How to use this evidence
A clear photo can support a visual comparison with known pest evidence.
A photo alone cannot confirm the source or extent of an infestation. Check for matching physical evidence nearby.
What you found
Bed bug eggs are very small, pale, and often attached to hidden surfaces near resting areas. Finding eggs means bed bugs are reproducing nearby and treatment should address all life stages, not only visible adults.
Common places to check
- Inspect mattress seams and nearby hiding spots for matching evidence.
- Inspect headboards and nearby hiding spots for matching evidence.
- Inspect bed frames and nearby hiding spots for matching evidence.
- Inspect baseboards and nearby hiding spots for matching evidence.
- Inspect furniture joints and nearby hiding spots for matching evidence.
