QUINCY, IL (WGEM) -- Did the bed bugs bite last night? The pests are becoming a big problem right here in the tri-states.

By the end of this year, bed bug infestation is expected to increase by 300% in the US.

Dave Hirner with Reliable Pest Solutions in Hannibal told me that they've been seeing an increase of bed bugs in hotels in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.

He says one of the main reasons for the increase is due to international travelers bringing the pests in from other countries. And unfortunately, staying in a 5-star hotel doesn't make a difference.

"You could be in the nicest, most beautiful, most expensive hotel suite, and it could have bed bugs. Bed bugs don't care about the living conditions. They don't care about the clutter. They're just looking for food. They're just looking for blood," says Hirner.

When staying in a hotel, Hirner recommends putting your luggage in the bath tub and to inspect the bed. He says to pull the linens off, check the piping around the mattress, the box spring and even the headboard.
