Bed Bugs On Ceiling After Treatment

Bed bugs on ceilings are a common concern. The National Pest Management Association reports over 90% of professional pest control companies have seen an increase in bed bug infestations in the last three years. Treating ceiling areas comes with unique challenges, like limited access and high humidity.

To locate bed bugs on the ceiling, inspect seams, cracks and crevices carefully for signs of their presence. Once located, suitable insecticides can help eradicate them from the area. Additionally, items around the area should also be treated - furniture and fixtures alike. Regular inspections can help prevent new infestations if bed bugs reappear after treatment.

Replacing mattresses might not always be necessary to control bed bug populations, however regularly cleaning and vacuuming surfaces will help reduce their eggs spread onto other items or surfaces leading up into your ceiling space.
