Bed bug eggs are placed how?

Bed bug eggs are placed how?

• A. Loosely in debris
• B. Fastened with cement to cracks and crevices
• C. Buried in soil
• D. On the host's fur

Answer: (B)

Bed bug eggs are laid in tiny, protected spots and are held in place by a sticky cement-like substance. This adhesive keeps the eggs securely attached to surfaces in cracks and crevices, such as mattress seams, bed frames, or behind baseboards, where they’re sheltered from disturbance and near where the bugs will hatch and move to feed. They aren’t left loose in debris, buried in soil, or placed on the host’s fur, because bed bugs rely on secure, indoor hiding spots rather than open areas or the host’s body.
