When you have a bed bug problem and you find something that looks like a bug that is smaller than the size of an adult, you should identify what it is. If it’s an egg, at least you know where they have gone. The eggs are tiny and therefore it can be quite challenging to identify them. You don’t want to spend hours attempting to identify bed bug eggs on the wall. Bed bug infestations are a huge problem that you want to avoid at all costs. One thing I didn’t realize until I became an expert in bed bugs is how eggs can occur on almost any surface in your home. Here are some photos that show how bed bug eggs can appear on walls, floors, and ceilings.​

Bed Bug Eggs On Wall

Bed bugs have invaded houses and live in places where people sleep.

Bed bugs have invaded houses and live in places where people sleep. Bed bug eggs are very small and white. The bed bug eggs are laid in small clusters, mostly on walls and ceilings. They can also be found on soft furniture such as mattresses, box springs, upholstery, etc.

Bed bug eggs hatch after about 8 – 12 days into the nymph stage of development (called an instar). The nymphs look like smaller versions of adult bed bugs with all six legs present.

They will hide in the cracks of your bed frame.

Bed bugs are small and can fit into very small spaces, so if you have a bed frame with cracks, they will hide there. This includes the cracks of your mattress or box spring. Bed bugs also like to hide under the mattress and between the box spring and its frame.

They will lay their eggs behind headboards, in dresser drawers and wall hangings, as well as other furniture items.

You might start to see bed bug eggs on your wall if they’re laying their eggs behind headboards, in dresser drawers, or even in wall hangings. Bed bugs will lay their eggs on surfaces that are close to their food source. They are very small so they can be hard to see with the naked eye but you can use a magnifying glass to get a better look at them.

Bed bugs prefer dark and warm areas like under your mattress, furniture and carpets. This is why you may not notice any signs of bed bugs until after an infestation has formed for several months. The longer an infestation goes untreated the more likely there will be egg shells on your walls because these take longer than one week from when it was laid down until it hatches into an adult insect (which takes about another week).

The eggs are very small and white. Takeaway: If you see any signs of bed bug infestation, call a trained pest control professional to take care of it.
