Madisonville, KY – Bedbugs have made their way to Hopkins County in western Kentucky. The insects were spotted at the Regional Medical Center and at the Red Cardinal Inn. Hopkins County Health Department Nursing Director Denise Baldwin says bedbugs are "very new" to the area. A hospital spokesman says exterminators were called to treat the critical care waiting room and no patient rooms were affected. The health department says bedbugs were found in only one room of the motel and plans to treat it.
