Fear not, dear readers. We've got something for you to fear this year.

Bed bugs!

The hideous creatures are the media obsession of the moment. We have given them Lady Gaga's meat dress throne, put them on the cover of the New Yorker, featured them on the nation's front pages and drilled the details of their infestations into your brains. You know the feeding frenzy is reaching its apex when a Frederick County public library gets besieged by calls from reporters in Japan because a few bugs were found in a returned book.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- The growing national epidemic of bed bugs is also a growing problem in Iowa.

Residents of an eastside Des Moines apartment complex claim their apartments are infested with bed bugs but their landlord is ignoring the problem. Bed bugs are are small parasitic insects that prefer to feed on human blood.

Bed Bugs are a growing problem – increasing 63% since 2007. To keep up with the demand from the entire east coast region, Willy recently joined the K9 Team. He has completed an extensive and comprehensive training program at Pepe’s J&K Canine Academy, Inc. Willy was hired to help with bed bug investigations in theaters, hotels, businesses, military bases and other public places. Highly trained in scent detection, Willy locates live bed bugs and viable eggs – helping pest control companies ensure that they are effectively eliminating bed bugs.
