Can bed bugs travel to top bunk?

[samuel]

I think I may have bed bugs. I've had horrible itching, doctor thought it was scabies and Ive used medicine.I still have itching. I think I may have saw one in one of my books (not sure if it was a bed bug or another bug) and I killed it. I have not seen any in my bed so I'm not sure if I do. I have a bunk bed but I never use the top mattress. Can they still spread to the top bunk? (If I have them that is)

Sports...

You have already gotten the answer that you likely did not want...they can travel to the top bunk.

So no you need to figure out how to get rid of them.

You may end up needing an exterminator to deal with this but I think you should look at some do-it-yourself options that you can spray on your furniture including your mattress.

There are several chemical free bedbug products available. the one that I have seen used most is called BedBug Terminator and it is sold online by a company called Kleen-Free. Apparently it will kill the bedbugs on contact as well as their eggs. You just spray it everywhere for a few days.

Good luck with this.

Yeah they might be on your clothes too change your clothes before you sleep up there and change your sheets and pillow case

Unless your top bunk is floating in mid air the answer is yes because they can just crawl up the posts.
