    They look a bit like slug/snail eggs but those are usually white in small numbers and hidden-did this suddenly appear overnight?

    Are you sure they are eggs-what happens when you squeeze one and how big are they?-the picture might be deceiving?

    They look NOTHING like snail or slug eggs. Slug eggs are much, much smaller, yellowish tinge and clear. The pic is large, solid silver man-made things.

    Dude, they look nothing like slug eggs, there is no comparison. Nothing wrong in being wrong but do not post stupid answers that do not help and make people question your knowledge.

    I agree with RM83 - We had our cavity walls beaded a couple of weeks ago and I've found some of them in various places. They do look very similar.
