Bed Bug Eggs

Our service manager Nick furnished us with this nice bed bug related photo.

This was photographed on the bed frame in an apartment in Brooklyn.  It is an extreme closeup.  

The translucent blue things are bed bug eggs, and it appears that the babies may have hatched already.

The darker blue lumps are bed bug feces.  The bugs have already been feeding for some time.  We did find adults and various instar stages as well, so the fecal matter might be from them.

The bluish color is due to the lighting, not the actual color of the eggs or feces.  

The person who lived in this room did not believe that he had bed bugs, so he most likely does not react to their bites, which can sometimes make identification a little more difficult.

Another challenge with this particular apartment is the amount of clutter the tenants have.  That always makes the job more challenging for us, and more expensive for you, so it's in everybody's interest to throw away that collection of plastic shopping bags from C-Town and those boxes of VHS tapes you haven't looked at in years.

The bed bug eggs are about this size of this comma, not the word comma, but the actual comma after the word comma earlier in this sentence.  If you have an iPhone, they're about the size of the numeral "1" on the time display at the top center of the face of the phone's main display.  They're small.  And as I have mentioned before, they come equipped with an adhesive on the outside that enables them to stick and be transported by nice people like you to other nice people.

If you were hired and funded to design a more efficient pest than the bed bug, I doubt you could do it.

Bring it.

Ew York City will be with you again tomorrow.
