Hawaii airport battles bedbug infestation.

Hawaii's largest airport, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, recently shut down three gates in Terminal 2 after receiving notice of bedbugs. The airport promptly cleaned the area and removed anything that might have attracted the bugs, but officials weren't sure initially if the pests were bedbugs. The transportation department noted that three gate areas underwent a deep cleaning, including carpet removal, the use of non-toxic bug spray, and a call to pest control for preventative measures. Bedbugs are tiny insects that feed on human blood and often hitch free rides in suitcases or clothing without being noticed. Travelers should be aware of the signs of bedbugs and check their luggage.
