Discovering small, brown, seed-like objects on your bed can be alarming. Many people immediately fear they have a serious pest infestation. While the image may look frightening, identifying the objects correctly is the first step before jumping to conclusions.
Based on appearance alone, it is impossible to determine with complete certainty what these objects are. However, several possibilities are commonly mistaken for one another.
Could They Be Bed Bug Eggs?
Many people assume anything found on a mattress must be related to bed bugs.
However, bed bug eggs are usually:
Tiny (about 1 mm)
Pearly white or translucent
Sticky in texture
Much smaller than the objects shown
The brown objects in the image do not closely resemble typical bed bug eggs.
