Page Identifying Insect Eggs?

Just moved into a new apartment and found these. Any idea? Just in case it's relevant, this is in Brazil.

Could be from the relatively common case-bearing clothes moth. I would just do a thorough vacuuming and check that windows etc. all have tight seals.

If you have any natural fiber goods (wool, etc.) keep them in a zippered/sealed container or surround with cedar wood chips or planks.

These appears to be unhatched insect sacs/cocoons. It looks more like Moth's. You could remove and place outside or over the counter insecticide can be used. Harmless to humans, but they love fabric fiber materials.

You can use an all-purpose insecticide. If you are renting, inform the landlord.
