KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) – Officials at the University of Nebraska at Kearney have confirmed a case of bedbugs in a residence hall.
The university says a pest control company has been at the dorm to conduct an in-depth inspection.
UNK director of Residence Life Tony Earls says that officials believe the bedbugs are isolated to one room. Earls says workers have checked rooms on both sides of, as well as the room below the affected room, and no other bedbugs were found.
Regardless, Earls says, the other rooms are being treated along with the affected room.
The news comes in the wake of bedbug problems at two other Nebraska colleges. Chadron State College and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have both reported bedbugs in dorms in recent weeks.
