KHGI-TV/KWNB-TV/KHGI-CD-Grand Island, Kearney, HastingsBedbugs Found in One Room at UNK

A pest control company has been on site to conduct an in-depth inspection. The affected room, as well the rooms on both sides, and  below, the affected room are being treated. All four rooms will also have two follow-up treatments.

"We have a protocol in place and will be following that protocol," Dr. Earls said. "If students in the residence halls suspect bedbugs, they should contact residence hall staff immediately. Students seeking treatment for bites should contact Health Care." 

While bedbugs are a nuisance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they are not known to transmit disease.
