“Don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Eeek!

I’m working on a story about bed bugs because they have become more of a problem in Columbia. Steve’s Pest Control Inc.’s Jerry Block said they get 10-15 calls a week and 3-4 treatments when in the past it was one a week. He said they are more prevalent when you travel, are the SEC games gonna bring more bed bugs? Ew! I’m doing further research and talking to more people and experts to see what’s up. Richard Houseman, an entomologist of plant sciences at MU, has a video about bed bugs and how they permeate in Columbia.
