I first thought these were Ladybug eggs but your eggs look round and Ladybug eggs are sort of oval so not sure about that.
They could be spider eggs but your eggs look to have some fuzz and spider eggs are usually smooth.

Maybe if you sent a picture to your county extension agency they could properly identify them so you'll know what you're dealing with.

These look just like the Gypsy Moth eggs I've been seeing on some of my trees, except mine are covered in a tan fuzz. The Gypsy Moth is a fairly large -maybe 1 to 1 1/2 inches long, white with small black dots on the wings.

In large numbers, they can defoliate large areas of trees quite quickly. When i find the moth or eggs, I squish all that I can. Most birds won't even eat the moths.

These are spider eggs and egg sacks. Here is how to identify spider eggs and to get rid of them. The eggs in the article look the exact same as the ones in your photo. www.terminix.com/.../
