Q: Late last fall I was treating a house for bed bugs and after 3 visits, I eliminated the infestation (to the best of my knowledge). Fast-forward to March and that same house has a new (or recurring) infestation. The thing is, this is a three-story house in Ohio with a finished attic and the recurrence is in an attic bedroom. I checked out several of the bugs under a microscope and realized they are actually bat bugs! I never thought to check originally because the initial infestation was huge and the bugs were only found on the first floor. What’s going on here and how do I proceed?
