Mediabistro.com reports that part of the Fox News Channel newsroom contained evidence of bed bugs, and an exterminator was brought in late last week to treat the problem.

An employee of Fox News most likely unknowingly transported bed bugs into the newsroom.

Over the past few years, New York City and other metropolitan areas have seen an increase in bed bug outbreaks in hotels and apartments.

See Five Ways to Bite Back at Bed Bugs for more information about the pests.
