LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV)- You may feel a tad itchy after hearing that cases of bed bugs are on the rise here in Arkansas.

Pest Control companies have reported more customers finding the bugs in their homes.

It's a dubious distinction. Arkansas has been named as the state with the largest increase in bed bug activity.

Steve Adams, owner of Adam's Pest Control in Little Rock, said it's a rising problem.

"I would say since the last 3 years it's just gotten more and more each year," said Adams.

Adams said the parasitic insects were once thought to be eradicated from the United States, but have made a comeback.

"I'd say they're pretty much established here in central Arkansas." A recent study conducted by Terminix claims Arkansas has seen a 46 percent increase in bed bug customer calls in the past year.

Adams said he went years without a bed bug complaint from customers, but now, he said he gets 3 to 4 a week.

"Typically they're in the bedroom. That's usually where the first sightings of them are."

Adams said the faster you address the problem, the better results you'll have getting rid of them.
