If my compost pile has bugs, will my compost tea transfer bug eggs to my soil in an indoor grow?

I started a compost heap in the heat outside and added kitchen waste (fruit, veggies, fan leaves, egg shells, leaves). The heap has a lot of bug activity but far less since i put it in the heat. Is it safe to brew compost tea or will i transfer bug eggs to my soil?

i’d just start a small bin inside. gotta keep the two things separated. outside doesnt go in, inside doesnt go outside and that way you dont get bugs and dont deal with shitty pests and spraying leaves with dangerous chemicals etc. for a nutrient tea it will work you can boil it after brewing and still get the water soluble npk or if you still wanna do a compost tea after brewing you can strain it through a very fine mesh in the hopes of eliminating any pests and eggs and larvae or even use a coffee filter after the mesh for extra measure. but to be honest i just wouldnt.

Completely safe, bug eggs don't survive in water.
