The key MTA control tower in Queens that was fumigated due to bed bugs last week causing major delays had to be sprayed for the third time on Monday.

One creepy crawler was spotted Monday afternoon at the Forest Hills-71st Street station tower that controls turnarounds for M and R trains, an MTA spokesman confirmed.

The bug was secured and confirmed deceased, said MTA communications director Tim Minton.

The infected terminal, known as the Continental Master Control Tower, will be treated tonight between midnight and 2 a.m., Minton said.

Staffers first said they spotted bed bugs at the terminal on two occasions in December, but a dog trained to sniff them out found none.

On Jan. 8, an employee reported seeing of the bloodsuckers near some chairs and that area was fumigated.

No bed bugs were found on that day but the dog confirmed they were there.

The entire terminal was sprayed last Wednesday after a sighting of the pests.

Staffers at the tower were pulled out so the area could be treated and werent allowed back for hours, disrupting the E, F, M and R trains during rush hour.

The fumigation on Monday night wasnt expected to impact service.

Officials said they didnt know where the bugs were coming from.

The four chairs that employees had been worried were the cause of the infestation were removed and will be replaced, a rep said.
