PEARL, MS (WLBT) -

Kelly Lancaster and her husband and children lived in apartment 49 at the Colonial Terrace Apartments in Pearl for several months, but moved out Thursday.

She says the apartment is full of bed bugs, and her family is covered with bites.

"We have a one-year-old, she's gotten bitten up really bad in her face, all over her back," Lancaster says.

"I mean this is awful. I had to buy scar cream," she says, showing us the welts on her back, arms, and legs.

Pamela Freeman lives directly upstairs.

"I had to put tape up where they were coming in at," she says, showing us where shehas sealed up her home in the corners and around the windows. She also sprays her bed every night, but she says the bed bugs still get in.

"Each time they feed, they shed. They grow," Freeman says. "My neighbor, she's got (bites) all over her."

Lancaster and Freeman say they've complained to management about it, and efforts have been made to treat the problem.

"They came in, heated our apartment to 140 degrees twice, sprayed some type of kerosene. It did nothing. We've thrown out our beds, everything," Lancaster says.

Lynchburg, VA - It looks like bed bugs are making a comeback. And, the critters are really taking a toll on one Lynchburg non-profit. Interfaith Outreach says action has to be taken.

Interfaith Outreach gives furniture to qualified, needy families that don't have any. In its inventory, the organization has all types of furniture - chairs, tables, even dishes - but say their waiting list for beds is possibly the longest it's ever been. And, they blame the bed bugs.

Inside the Interfaith Outreach warehouse, furniture is piled high.There are beds too. But, Executive Director Shawne Farmer says not enough! The requests for full and twin size beds keep piling up, reaching record levels.

"That's going to be well over 100 by the end of April. And our norm for bed pieces of 80, 84 for a year," said Farmer.

Farmer blames these bed bugs. Her clients, the neediest of the needy in central Virginia, are losing their beds, even their homes, to bed bug infestations.

Assistant Director Donna Snow runs Interfaith's furniture program. Her clients have had bed bug horror stories.

"Her father had made bed frames for the children's beds, and just a couple months later they found out they had the bed bugs. And so everything had to be tossed," said Snow.

"They can get in the wall, furniture, clothing, your hair," said Farmer.

But, steps can be taken to squash the bug.
