As people are becoming more mobile, bed bugs are becoming a growing problem across the country, even in North Dakota.

Bed bugs are considered one of the most difficult pests to control because of their quick breeding capabilities and tendency to hide in small, dark places, like headboards and baseboards, electrical outlets and box springs.

Often, people don't even know they have bed bugs until they develop bite marks on their body while sleeping, which could take up to 14 days.

But, there are different treatments available to get rid of the bed bugs.

"The whole home is heated. A crew comes in and they heat up the whole house and they drive the air with the fans and everything to sort of make a giant convection oven inside your house, says Brian Francis of Plunketts Pest Control.

There are also chemical treatments that can be done by professionals. Bed bugs aren't considered to be dangerous, but if people have a bad reaction they should seek medical attention.
