Bed Bug Eggs: Tiny Time Bombs
Bed Bug Eggs: Tiny Time Bombs
Bed bug eggs are sneaky little bastards—pearly white, pinhead-sized, and glued in clusters where you least expect. In Montreal's 2025 surge (40x since 2005), these 1mm bombs hatch into armies fast. Spot 'em in your North Shore or South Shore home before one turns into hundreds.
What Do Bed Bug Eggs Look Like?
- Size & Color: 1mm long (salt grain), pearly white/translucent—soft, malleable (not hard like some pests).
- Clusters: 10-50 stuck with glue in seams/crevices; black dot on older ones near hatch.
- Vs. Others: Flea eggs elongated/off-white; lint doesn't smear. Touch test: Sticky, not rigid.
Females drop 1-7/day, up to 500 lifetime—97% hatch in 6-10 days.
Where to Hunt for Eggs
Prime Montreal haunts: Mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, furniture cracks, luggage tags. In older HLM buildings, check wallpaper edges and curb finds.
Quick ID Steps
- Flashlight Scan: Shine on seams—look for white specks.
- Tape Test: Sticky tape lifts 'em for close-up.
- Smear Check: Crush one—clear liquid, no crunch.
- Pro Hack: Detection dogs hit 90% accuracy in rentals.

Why Eggs Are the Real Threat
One cluster = hundreds in weeks. Sprays miss 'em; heat zaps all stages.
