College Treats Dorm For Bedbugs

Rocky Mountain College had an outbreak of bedbugs in one of its residence halls last semester and is continuing to treat two vacant rooms to make sure the pests don’t return. Brad Nason, Rocky’s vice president for student life, said Wednesday that the infestation started late last August or early September, in a room in Widenhouse Hall, the biggest dorm on campus, with 175 students. Bedbugs were found in four rooms, he said, but the whole building had to be treated. One company was brought in early last semester, but the bugs weren’t eradicated, so Action Pest Control was contracted to begin a second round of treatments around Thanksgiving/ Ed Kemmick , Billings Gazette.

Question: Have any of you Merry Hucksters ever shared a room with a bedbug? Wanna tell us what that’s like?
