After searching online, I realized they were bedbug eggs.
What They Look Like:
-
About 1 mm long
-
White, oval, shiny
-
Often hidden in mattress seams, furniture cracks, or behind baseboards
The Risk:
-
Hatch in 6–10 days into blood-feeding larvae
-
Bites cause itching, irritation, allergies, and insomnia
How They Spread:
-
Suitcases after travel
-
Used furniture or clothes
-
Even through walls and vents from neighbors
How to Get Rid of Them:
-
Deep clean, vacuum seams and cracks
-
Wash fabrics at 60°C+
-
Use steam on mattresses and furniture
-
Best option: call pest control to avoid re-infestation
If I hadn’t spotted those “grains,” within a week I would’ve had a full-blown infestation.
