BISMARCK, N.D. -- Officials at Edgewood Vista Villages say they are taking measures to deal with a bed bug outbreak.

In an Aug. 15 letter addressed to residents, executive director April Bishop wrote, We have had a confirmed case of bed bugs in the north part of our building.

It was unclear from the letter which building Bishop was referring to.

Edgewood Vista Villages operates two facilities in Bismarck on Dominion Street and Colorado Lane and one in Mandan on 39th Avenue Southeast.

Three phone messages left by the Tribune for Bishop were not returned.

The letter stated a specialized cleaning company certified to deal with bed bugs was being brought in and ongoing inspections and monitoring are being conducted.

In addition, Bishop wrote a company that uses a trained dog to detect bed bugs was being brought in to complement heat and spray treatments.

Michelle Feist, an epidemiologist with the North Dakota Department of Health, said bed bug infestations are not required to be reported to the health department.

Feist said bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases.

It can happen anywhere, she said. Even in a five-star hotel.

A Lodi theater was temporarily closed after several moviegoers complained they were bitten by bed bugs while watching a movie.

After the Lodi Stadium 12 Cinemas closed its doors Sunday following complaints, a pest control company found "small pockets of bed bugs in limited areas of our theater," according to Catherine DePrima, a spokeswoman for Santa Rosa Entertainment Group, which operates the theater.

Pest control employees were working throughout the week to exterminate the bugs and found no live bed bugs Wednesday.

The company plans to reopen the theater Thursday and perform regular inspections throughout the year, DePrima said in an email to The Times.

We are battling bed bug infestations in many places in Californias Central Valley and are confident in the service that we are providing the Lodi Stadium 12 Cinemas theater complex," DePrima said. "Their pest issues are limited and under control. The theater will re-open tomorrow as planned.

Two girls, who watched a movie at the theater on Friday, told FOX40 they woke up the next morning with hundreds of tiny red bites on their arms and legs.

PEARL, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

Some residents of Pearl are fired up because of a bed bug infestation problem at their apartment complex.

Tenants say the problem has been going on for years at the Colonial Terrace Apartments, but why hasn't it been fixed?

We first reported bed bug problems at Colonial Terrace back in 2012. Now more people have called 3 On Your Side seeking help.

Gwen Roberson, was one of those calls. She showed us the furniture she had to toss because her apartment is full of bed bugs.

"They're everywhere crawling through the walls, crawling through my furniture," Roberson explained. "I had to throw my kids bed set out, I had to throw away my living room set."

She's lived at Colonial Terrace for 7 months and says the bed bug infestation is getting worse. Her son is now covered in bites.

"My son had been coming to me for a couple of months now with bite marks on him but I didn't realize what they were," said Roberson. "I thought they were mosquito bites."

Other tenants have also come forward and given us photos.

"They have sprayed my house three different times and I'm still infested with them," said one tenant.

Sixty-eight-year-old Vietnam veteran Karl Epperson thought his fighting days were done, but for the past three months he has been in the heat of battle, a battle with bedbugs.

"You can't sleep because they come up in the bed with you," said Epperson.

A short-sleeved shirt revealed raspberry-sized bug bites that spotted his arms.

Epperson has lived in the privately owned Overlook Apartments in the Westside for nearly a decade, but contemplates moving because of the creepy crawlers.

Overlook management officials could not be reached for comment.

At least a dozen bedbug infestations in Chattanooga hotels and public places have been reported to the Hamilton County Health Department within the past two years, said Bonnie Deakins, director of environmental health.

The Health Department gives hotels with infestations 10 days to get rid of them and the hotel has to close the infested room until they do.

Bedbugs don't carry disease, Deakins said, but they are hard to exterminate. The problem is getting to them. They're in the cracks of the walls, inside the mattress and in the bed, said Deakins.

"It's been a big problem within the past eight years or so," she said. "For years we didn't see them but apparently they've become resistant to the pesticides."

Epperson said that Overlook Apartment officials called an exterminating company for his unit but that they didn't eliminate the pests. There are scuff marks on his wall from where he has tried to kill some with bug spray and a fly swatter.
