CLEVELAND, Ohio Employees at the Justice Center in downtown Cleveland are on high alert after bed bugs were discovered inside the facility on Monday.

Darren Toms, Community Outreach Coordinator for the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, confirms to FOX 8 News that the bed bugs were found in a undisclosed area of the Justice Center sometime on Monday.

Bed bugs experts were on hand Monday afternoon to answer questions and provide treatment information to all employees.

According to the Cuyahoga County Bed Bug Task Force, bed bug numbers in offices tend to be low, increasing by periodic reintroductions; rather than through reproduction.

Toms explains that the Cleveland Department of Public Health, public health officials and pest control operators in northeast Ohio are responding to a significant increase in bed bug complaints.

However, authorities believe that Mondays finding is an isolated incident.

Toms goes on to say that, the bugs are found in office buildings, retail stores, hospitals, buses, or any other place where people gather.

It is estimated that tens of thousands people visit the Justice Center every week.

Alert: County employees informed about bed bugs, officials say they’re not infested

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

Another bed bug has found at theCuyahoga County Justice Center and that has led to alarm among court employees.

The county held special meetings for court employees Monday, telling them what to watch for, and what to do when they spot a bed bug.

And now the court is ending out information to 500 court employees about bed bugs.

The bug found Monday was in a courtroom. Another found recently was on an administrative floor.

Ajustice center spokesperson released the following statement to the media:

The Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court is aware that bed bugs have been found in the Justice Center.

The areas in question have been treated and workers were advised of the discovery and provided with instruction on the prevention and treatment of bed bugs. An additional meeting with bed bug experts was held Monday afternoon for any interested Court employees.

Unfortunately, no office is totally safe from the potential for bed bugs or any other pests. According to the Cleveland Department of Public Health, public health officials and pest control operators in northeast Ohio and across the country are responding to a significant increase in bed bug complaints.

Bed bugs are found in office buildings, retail stores, hospitals, dormitories, nursing homes, libraries, movie theaters, buses, or any other place where people gather. With tens of thousands of people coming through the Justice Center every week, we are not immune.

TIGARD, Ore. -- A Tigard man who can use his dog to track down bed bugs in your house says this is the high season.

Usually I hear from people after the holidays, they travel and bring them back on luggage or their out-of-town guests leave them, explained Marty Neiman of K9 Bug Detection NW.

Neiman purposely brings the bugs into his house so he can train his two-year-old German Shepherd to track them down. As long as theres a scent, you can train a dog to detect anything, he said.

In a demonstration at his home, Neiman hid 6 bed bugs in a vial in the corner of the couch. The dog, named Ruger, found them in less than two minutes.

If you took his scent membrane and laid it out on the floor it would be larger than his skin. They filter a tremendous amount, Neiman explained.

And it's a busy time for Neiman and Ruger. Neiman said Portlands bed bug complaints are 30 times what they were a few years ago.

New York is the worst about a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, the Midwest is a little better and Seattle has more of a problem than Portland, Neiman said.
