š± The Morning I Found āRice Grainsā in My Bed. I woke up to find strange white grains on my sheets. At first, I thought my husband had spilled rice ā until I noticed one of them moved. My stomach dropped.
After searching online, I realized they were bedbug eggs.
š What They Look Like:
-
About 1 mm long
-
White, oval, shiny
-
Often hidden in mattress seams, furniture cracks, or behind baseboards
š The Risk:
-
Hatch in 6ā10 days into blood-feeding larvae
-
Bites cause itching, irritation, allergies, and insomnia
š How They Spread:
-
Suitcases after travel
-
Used furniture or clothes
-
Even through walls and vents from neighbors
š How to Get Rid of Them:
-
Deep clean, vacuum seams and cracks
-
Wash fabrics at 60Ā°C+
-
Use steam on mattresses and furniture
-
Best option: call pest control to avoid re-infestation
If I hadnāt spotted those āgrains,ā within a week I wouldāve had a full-blown infestation.
