Bed Bug Egg

Found in cracks and crevices of bed frames, mattresses, and furniture near sleeping areas.

The egg itself does not eat; however, the emerged nymph requires blood meals from humans or warm-blooded animals.

Eggs are laid in clusters and glued to surfaces with a sticky substance; they typically hatch in 6 to 10 days depending on temperature.

Indicates an active infestation; bed bugs cause itchy bites, allergic reactions, and significant psychological distress, though they are not known to transmit diseases.
