MONDAY NIGHT ON WAFB 9NEWS AT TEN:  Watch our Special Report on Bed Bugs and see how one Baton Rouge company is using unconventional methods to seek out bed bugs inside area homes and hotels.

A South Louisiana family brought back some unwanted souvenirs from their trip to Alabama. They were covered in bite from bed bugs.

A Livingston Parish woman, her husband, and her young daughter all got bed bug bites while at a hotel in Dothan, Alabama.  They are now being treated for their bites. They do not believe any bed bugs made the trip home with them but they are currently treating their home as a precaution.

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. Adult bed bugs are oval, wingless and rusty red colored, and have flat bodies, antennae and small eyes. They are visible to the naked eye, but often hide in cracks and crevices. When bed bugs feed, their bodies swell and become a brighter red. In homes, bed bugs feed primarily on the blood of humans, usually at night when people are sleeping.

Many people will get bed bugs from infested hotel rooms while traveling.  New York City has been dubbed the "bed bug capital of the world" because so many travelers move in and out of that city and some hotel rooms there are infested.   Travelers will frequently return home and unknowingly have bed bugs in their luggage.

A man known as "The Bug Doctor" from the Pest Cemetery website has a suggestion for people who live in warmer climates who hope to prevent bed bugs from entering their home after a trip. He suggests leaving your unpacked luggage inside your hot car before bringing your luggage inside.  Be sure to remove electronics first.   On a warm day, the temperature in your car can quickly rise to 120 degrees and that way for several hours. That heat is high enough to kill bed bugs. After leaving the luggage in your car for several hours, The Bug Doctor says it should then be safe to bring indoors.

NYC Housing Court Kills Bed Bugs – Video

18-01-2012 10:30 http://www.bedbugbully.com Learn how to kill bed bugs without spending too much. http://www.youtube.com "City housing officials got so antsy over a bedbug invasion that they shipped off 5000 boxes of files for fumigation, forcing Housing Court cases to be postponed. The bloodsuckers turned up at the Department of Housing Preservation and development around Nov. 15, leading to the evacuation of the entire third floor, which contains the tax-incentives divisions and parts of the housing-litigation and IT divisions. Officials said that even though the critters were spotted only in isolated areas, a top-to-bottom cleaning was ordered, meaning everything on the floor had to be temporarily relocated." Bed bugs can hide not only on clothes and luggage. Even in books and magazines, they can also be present. Proofs of that are the several cases of bed bug infestation in libraries. And given that, it was just right for the New York Housing Court to be anxious about their presence. http://www.bedbugbully.com

OARDC a Leader in Bed Bug Science, Aim Is to Save US Billions – Video

26-01-2012 07:26 The national bed bug epidemic is costing homeowners and businesses, especially in tourism, billions of dollars every year, and Ohio is no exception. Fortunately, thanks to the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, the state is a leader in fighting the pest. OARDC scientist Susan Jones, who specializes in urban and household insect pests, studies how well bed bug insecticides, detectors, and other products work, serves on bed bug task forces in Columbus and Cincinnati, and has emerged as a national authority. Also, Jones and OARDC scientist Omprakash Mittapalli, an expert on insect molecular biology, recently reported the first detailed study of bed bugs' genetic makeup. The scientists' work shows how the bloodsuckers become resistant to common pesticides, a trait that makes killing the pests difficult and expensive. Knowing this, Mittapalli said, "could lead to novel methods of control that are more effective"— saving people and companies money, plus possibly spurring new products.
