HERE'S A STORY WITH LEGS

Experts Say U.S. in Midst of Bedbug Invasion

Bedbugs are making a big comeback in parts of the U.S., including New York City, and Atlanta. And they're not only hiding out in fleabag hotels, either.

Exterminators say they're finding bedbugs in around four times the number of hotel rooms they did last year.

"People's homes, and in places you wouldn’t expect, like aircraft and cruise ships," said Frank Meek of Orkin Pest Control.

Pest control experts say the tiny bloodsucking bugs are on the increase, partly because people travel more. "This is an insect that's a great hitchhiker. So if you're there, and he's there, they can get up, walk around with you and come with you to your next destination," Meek said.

The bad news is that the only way to rid a home of the insects is to call a professional exterminator.
