It may not be the greatest fear while traveling, but it's at least a top 5. A traveler just shared video of disgusting bed bugs they encountered when they stopped for the night at a Missouri motel.

Since this is a YouTube short, there's not a lot of context for this, but based on the hashtags, it appears to be from a motel in Independence, Missouri. Just watch.

Based on the information in the brief video description, this video was captured at Candlewood Suites Kansas City in Independence, Missouri at 4545 Trace Park Ct. There's no way to verify this other than to take the video sharer's word.

What's interesting is I looked at Trip Advisor reviews of this Missouri motel and I did see a report that was just shared that mentioned bed bugs and included pictures.

This is sadly not uncommon in many Missouri places as recently there were at least 568 bed bug reports at one time based on Bed Bug Reports.

No doubt this is one of the most unsettling things you can see when you stop in Missouri for what you hoped would be a good nights rest. Ew.

Bed bugs are a common pest throughout Missouri, the United States, and many parts of the world. They are excellent hitchhikers and can easily be moved from place to place on personal belongings such as bags, coats, and other items.

Because bed bugs can be picked up so easily, they can be found anywhere that people can be found! This includes private homes, hotels or motels, movie theaters, schools, and many other places around the community.

Bed bugs are not a new pest, although reports and complaints of bed bugs have been increasing in the last several years. The increase is likely the result of many things including more frequent travel, lack of knowledge about bed bugs and prevention steps, resistance of bed bugs to widely available pesticide products, and other factors. While bed bugs are an inconvenient pest to encounter, the good news is that they do not transmit diseases!

The bed bug used to be a pest of the past, but has made a resurgence over the last few years. Hotels and apartment complexes are vulnerable to these insects due to the sheer number of people coming in and out of them. The bed bug is about the size of a small tick and feeds on human blood. If there is an infestation, bed bugs will seek shelter during the day in cracks and crevices and come out at night to feed. They can be found around mattress trim, boxsprings, bed coverings, bed frames, wall hangings, baseboards, behind loose wallpaper, light switches, etc. Small spots of blood can sometimes be found on the bed sheets. Proper treatment is key in controlling a bed bug infestation, as they can quickly spread to other areas of the building and become a much larger problem.

If bed bugs invade your home, contact Steves Pest Control to schedule ourBed Bug Heat Treatment. This service is extremely effective in eliminating these blood suckers from your home.
