WEST TEXAS - A mother and son had just arrived to Odessa from New Mexico to get some sleep and save some money, they decided to stay at a bargain motel. That's when they claim they found bed bugs and all their troubles started.

"She was like do you see anything, do you see anything, and I looked and there was nothing," Joseph Lopez said.

"A little while later, I got up and down and up and down and looked in the mirror and I was getting bites all in my shoulders," Sandra Swann said.

Soon the welts spread everywhere but the Ector County Health Department said the Sahara Motel checked out clean.

"Yeah, I wanna let them sleep in that bed for a night and tell us there's no bugs in that room," Lopez said.

Then we received surveillance videos of their arrival, in which you can see the bed of their truck had an exposed mattress. Also in it, Lopez is seen lightly scratching his head and hands. But the two are sure they didn't bring the bugs in.

"I didn't have anywhere near a scratch when I got there than I did as I left," Lopez said.

"They're hitch hiking insects," Buesher said.

He said bed bug cases have been reported in 48 of the 50 states. And in Texas, there's not a city without the infestation. Plus, the little bugscan get anywhere. They might be small, but they move fast, reproduce quickly and pack a big punch or bite.

Arkansas leads nation for highest increase of bed bug cases …

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) -- As the busiest travel time of the year kicks into high gear, there's one nuisance causing concern in Arkansas, and it's not gas prices, flight rates or lost luggage.

Terminix reports an almost 50 percent increase within the past year on calls about cases of bed bugs.

While most people associate them with a dirty hotel room, the majority of cases are actually coming from within homes, according to Terminix.

"It's a problem in every state, but we are getting lots of calls pretty much all year round," said Dr. Sue Weinstein with the Arkansas Health Department.

Weinstein, Arkansas' State Veterinarian, receives so many calls and questions weekly about bed bugs that she keeps an example of one in her office.

"Bed bugs suck blood and they like people, they live on carbon dioxide and warm place," she added.

Mark Vitulli with Terminix in Sherwood showed us a steaming technique the business uses to kill the small pests. He said cases are becoming more prevalent in Arkansas than years past, where currently the percentage of calls to them has increased more than any other state.

"We get several a week, and most of the time the people are in quite a panic," Vitulli said. "They want us to get out there as soon as possible to make sure it is bed bugs."

These bugs are so small usually the only remnants are bite marks, or tiny specs of blood on your sheets.

"The bed bugs will usually get in where the material and mesh are stapled together," Vitulli showed us, turning a chair upside down.
