Bed bugs have been found in a sitting area at the Kansas City International Airport in Missouri.

The Kansas City Starreportsthat the discovery was made Thursday inside Terminal B. Airport spokesman Kathleen Hefner says the infestation was on an upholstered chair in an area near several restaurants.

Hefner says the mezzanine area of the terminal was closed temporarily to clean for the bugs. She says no food prep areas were contaminated.

The affected area was reopened early Friday after receiving treatment.

While the bedbug outbreak didn't extend to adjacent eateries, it did force their closure while the seating area was treated, according to local media.

Its a bummer because Im not sure if theres anything else open, Michelle Micsko, who was waiting for a flight toArizona to tour colleges with her daughter, said to KSHB Channel 4 of Kansas City.Theres really nothing else except snacks.

Others said they weren't in the mood to eat after learning of the cause of the closure.

My appetite is kind of done for today," passenger Michael Roach said to Kansas City's Fox 4 after heading to the food court during a layover. Its actually quite alarming.

Food options can be limited for fliers at Kansas City's airport, where separate security is needed to enter various clusters of gates. Some areas have more retail options than others, but customers cannot move between many gate areas without leaving and reentering security.

That will change once a new airport terminal is built there. A recently approved $1 billion terminal is expected to be finished early next decade.

Bed bugs were discovered on a chair in a seating area at Kansas City International Airport Sunday, USA Today reports.

The live bed-bug infestation was found by airport security on an upholstered chair in Terminal B but did not spread to any other areas, including nearby restaurants and cafs.

Terminal B was closed for a portion of the day while the infestation was controlled and cleaned and officials plan to reopen the area Monday.

Bed bug discoveries on airplanes and in public areas like airports and hotels are not uncommon. In January, a British Airways plane had to cancel takeoff after the crew refused to work on a bed-bug infestation on board. Another British Airways bed-bug incident happened earlier in October.

As a British Airways spokesperson told Metro UK, The presence of bed bugs is an issue faced occasionally by hotels and airlines all over the world.

Its no mystery how bed bugs are traveling internationally these days. Thankfully, most airlines pay close attention to this type of contamination and there are tips on how to spot bed bugs on airplanes before they reach your skin.

People use to think of bed bugs as a cute, make believe bedtime clich Sleep tight, dont let the bed bugs bite. The truth is they are quite real and far from cute! Bed bugs have been a known human parasite for thousands of years and have been in the United States since the 17th century. By the 1940s, bed bugs were all but eliminated, but due to the banning of effective but harmful chemicals and increased international travel, bed bugs have made a big time come back.

Steves Pest Control is proud to offer Heat Treatment and the RX Heat Treatment System for the complete elimination of bed bugs. Click here to read about Steves Bed Bug Heat Treatment Warranty. Rather than using merely chemical treatments that require multiple treatments, large amounts of pesticide, and a lot of preparation performed by the client, Steves Heat Treatment penetrates the entire area, requires only one treatment, requires little to no pesticide and has far less preparation. Best of all the problem is eliminated in one day! Heat Treatment is a newer technology that Steves Pest Control has been using since 2010. Heat is strategically placed throughout the treatment area until reaching a desired temperature between 125-140. We not only reach this temperature in the open air space but inside the walls, beneath carpet and other floor surfaces, bedding, furniture, clothing and all other contents. Powerful air movers and digital temperatures sensors are strategically placed throughout the treatment area(s) to distribute and monitor the air and its accurate temperature. Once all areas have reached 125 we sustain that minimum temperature for 2-4 hours. After the service has been completed will have successfully killed all eggs, nymph and adult bed bugs.

Many of our technicians have completed specialized training on the RX Heat treatment system, and weve invested in four heat systems. Were proud to offer this new technology to the mid-Missouri market. Our goal with the RX Heat program is total bed bug elimination. Click hereto view a video about how the treatment technology works.

For businesses such as hotels, motels, hospitals, apartments and dorms, we recommend scheduling regular bed bug inspections throughout the year. These kinds of business are especially susceptible to bed bug invasion because the business hosts a relatively transient population people come and go often.

Bed bugs find new locations to invade by hitchhiking from one location to another on luggage, clothing and people. Its important for businesses with transient populations to keep a regular schedule of bed bug inspections because new people are coming in constantly. Every new visitor is a potential bed bug carrier, and new invasions are possible at any time.
