Small midtown college says it’s dealing with bed bugs in three … – KTUL

John Pappas, executive director of Platt College, says after an inspection, "it was determined that we had bed bugs in three of our classrooms. We moved students to other classrooms in the building." (KTUL)

Hundreds of students and teachers pass through the doors each day at Platt College, and one of them brought along some uninvited guests: Bed bugs.

"They are great at traveling like a tick or a chigger on our clothing, and that's how they get dispersed everywhere," says Daryl Carter, owner of The Bed Bug Store.

Carter is something of an expert on the little parasites, selling sprays and mattress covers to prevent and exterminate the parasites. He says bed bugs don't just stick to mattresses; they can be found anywhere.

"Where there's a lot of people going in and out, especially if they are sitting down somewhere. Restaurants, theaters, the list is pretty long," he said.
