Yes, cockroaches can and do climb on beds. Their ability to climb most surfaces means that no place is truly off-limits to these pests, including your bed. However, they are generally more likely to be found there if there are food sources nearby, or if the bed is in close proximity to their hiding spots. To minimize the risk, keep your sleeping area clean, limit food consumption to the kitchen, and use traps or professional pest control services if you suspect an infestation.
