Bed Bugs are certainly a problem in some hotels, but did you realize that you could run into them in your local airport? Last year we told you about a Bed Bug Infestation at Major US Airport. According to Fox News, there is a new bed bug infestation near several restaurants in Terminal B or Kansas City International Airport.
Yuck Bed Bugs Found In This Airport Sitting Area!
Bed bugs have been discovered in a sitting area at Kansas City International Airport.
According to reports, airport staff found a live infestation of bed bugs on an upholstered chair in the Missouri airport. The chair was reportedly near several restaurants in Terminal B.
The mezzanine area in the terminal was temporarily closed for cleaning.
Kathleen Hefner, a spokeswoman for KCI, said bed bugs were not found in any other area of the airport, The Kansas City Star reported.
“The mezzanine area in Terminal B is closed briefly out of an abundance of caution to clean for bed bugs found (in a chair) by staff,” Hefner said.

No matter what we try to perform, firstly , we need to worry about is pests.
Since it is tough to see where the gopher tunnels are,
it is advisable to remove the threat of gophers altogether by hiring
a gopher exterminator. If there are cracks and crevices with your house,
seal them up in order that ropaches usually do not hide in them.
I was travelling through Heathrow airport in 2003, before bed bugs had made such a big name for themselves. I was waiting for a connecting flight in the international terminal and sitting on a chair at my gate. The chair was a typical airport waiting chair, connected with a row of other chairs, lightly upholstered cushions, nothing fancy. I was writing in a journal that was resting on my thigh when suddenly I noticed a line of insects marching across my leg and onto the surface of my journal. I freaked out and jumped up, my journal went flying as I desperately brushed at my legs to get them off me. I turned to look at my seat and there was a tiny little cut in the fabric right where I was sitting and they were all coming out single file. The body heat from my backside had alerted them a food source had arrived and I’m assuming I was about to become their buffet meal. I ran to customer service and told them what happened. The lady was a complete bitch about it, acted like I was lying and wasting her time. I insisted she come and see. By the time we got back, not a single bug was to be found. She glared daggers at me for wasting her time and refused to take further action. After that, I sat only on the hard tile floor while I waited for my flight. I didn’t know they were bedbugs at the time, but it clicked several years later as they gained notoriety. Gross little bastards.
