University of Kentucky Bed Bugs Found

UK officials say they are double-checking all areas of campus before the back to school rush after three more bed bugs were found in a campus building, this time at the W.T. Young Library.
Officials say three bed bugs, two dead and one live, were found near a computer studying area inside the library last Friday. That's the same day pest control treated a room in the new addition of the student center after 20 bed bugs were found there in a couch cushion.
Officials say this is probably the best time for UK to be dealing with the problem, as there aren't as many students on campus for summer session. But, by this fall UK officials say before all the students return, they plan to train every custodian to be able to spot bed bugs.
UK officials say just like the student center lounge was given a heat treatment to rid the bed bugs, the library will be combed over later this week.
Since there are no legal pesticides that can be used on bed bugs, treatment involves heating the area the bugs are found.
