Eggs included. And pesticides tend not to effect eggs normally.Edited to add. Thanks to extensive use of DDT in the 1950's DDT is no longer effective on bedbugs as they, as with some other species, had built up a resistance to it.  In fact in the late 1950's pest control experts, who still at that time, had access to DDT. Were recommending, that  we not use it, as it had become so ineffective.</blockquote>
