đ± The Morning I Found âRice Grainsâ in My Bed. I woke up to find strange white grains on my sheets. At first, I thought my husband had spilled rice â until I noticed one of them moved. My stomach dropped.
After searching online, I realized they were bedbug eggs.
đ What They Look Like:
-
About 1 mm long
-
White, oval, shiny
-
Often hidden in mattress seams, furniture cracks, or behind baseboards
đ The Risk:
-
Hatch in 6â10 days into blood-feeding larvae
-
Bites cause itching, irritation, allergies, and insomnia
đ How They Spread:
-
Suitcases after travel
-
Used furniture or clothes
-
Even through walls and vents from neighbors
đ 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 hadnât spotted those âgrains,â within a week I wouldâve had a full-blown infestation.
