DUBUQUE (KWWL) -

Bed bugs are on the rise in eastern Iowa.

The city of Dubuque's housing inspector, Bob Boge, said bed bugs are a regular problem, whereas they weren't when he started in his position some five years ago. He estimates the city now receives about 15 unique bed bug complaints per year.

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on human blood and leave itchy, red welts. They often come out to feed at night and hide during the day in the crevices of mattresses and furniture.

Boge recommends people be leery of buying used furniture at a secondhand store and that people who buy clothing at a garage sale or thrift shopput those clothes - dry - into a dryer for a full, high-heat cycle so the heat can kill any bedbugs that might be there.

Ecumenical Tower in downtown Dubuque is now bed bug-free, but that wasn't the case just one month ago.

Matthew Roddy is housing director for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, which owns and operates Ecumenical Tower, a non-profit apartment building for seniors and adults with special needs.

Each of the building's 88 apartments gets inspected twice a year for any pests or unclean living conditions, Roddy said. The most recent inspection, in August, revealed evidence of bed bugs in three units.

"This is all new to us," Roddy said. "This is the first time we've had to deal with this, as a building."

Ecumenical Tower was built more than 40 years ago.

Identify Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs never just show up in your home. Theyare brought into your home one way or another. When bites start occurring on your body that are unexplained, most people start to wonder if it could be bed bugs. The problem is thatthere is no way to tell if your bites are from these bugs. You may be very suspicious of these bites,but its not a good way to confirm that it is a bed bug infestation.

I am the General Manager of the Clarion Hotel that is at this address. It is true that we have had a reported case of bed bugs (2) in the past years. Unfortunately this can happen at even the cleanest of hotels. Bed bugs are usually brought in by other travelers and are not a case of the hotel being dirty. We are as proactive as possible with ongoing training of our staff and also with monthly treatment from a certified pest control company. We are more than happy to share any and all document

ation we have regarding our practices. The Scott County Health department would be the agent of record for any report that was actually made to the Health Department.

Thank you, Kristin Meyer General Manager

Me and 4 of my friends stayed at the Clarion on 05/03/2013-05/05/2013 in room 347. We were there for a convention. when i got home i took some of my clothes into my moms room and layed them on her bed because they had to be hand washed, about a week or two later my mom began getting fairly sever outbreaks of hives it took us awhile to figure out that the hives were actually bedbug bites. I was the only one to return home with any. This is clearly a serious problem that the hotel has failed to ad

dress and they need to get rid of them.
