This video aired on WLWT Channel 5 in Cincinnati, back in October 2007. We covered the story when it ofirst appeared, but I don’t recall this video airing properly, and indeed, it still does not on the WLWT site. It’s worth seeing.

Video of Lou Sorkin’s bed bugs, in full motion and technicolor.

Warning: This is not for the feint of heart or those with a current, active infestation.
Lou says,

I had just finished feeding the colony, but not all got to eat and are now busy moving about looking for me. You can see that are many […]

Today, Cincinnati’s WKRC (local12.com) tells more local bed bug stories in an article and video.

“Bed bugs,” said Diann Waters, bed bugs in home. “All over my baby.”
Diann Waters may tell her son, “don’t let the bed bugs bite” before he goes to sleep, but it looks like they did anyways.
“He done scratched them and stuff. […]

Another story about bed bugs on the TV news, replete with PCO inspection and treatment (including inspection of the inside of a PC tower!)
Baring his arm for the obligatory shots of bed bugs feeding on an entomologist’s arm: UC-Riverside entomologist Dr. Alec Gerry.

Thanks Lou!

This segment from Good Morning America yesterday, detailing the many dangers of hotels including bed bugs, e. coli, and athlete’s foot. (Are all these things in the same ballpark, people?)
The bed bug story had the obligatory “Entomologist feeding his bed bug” colony video segment, that we’ve all come to expect. This time […]

Bed bugs on the BBC News, a short segment, via YouTube. The PCO on this interview blames the British origins of bed bugs to hotels travelers used at the Sydney Olympic Games. Some of the footage is creepy, but the footage of cast off shells and droppings on the headboard are very informative. […]

New article and video from National Geographic today. This is one of the more scientific videos we’ve seen, and true to National Geographic’s style, includes footage of “traumatic insemination” (the nasty bedbug’s form of procreation), as well as eerie footage of bedbugs crawling on a person in bed, in the dark.
Also footage of Lawrence […]
