A Walmart located in Edinboro, Pennsylvania has become infested with bedbugs after someone released the pests inside of a men’s changing room on Thursday.
According to CNN, a manager found a bottle full of bedbugs and reported it Thursday to the police. The pill bottle was discovered in a boy’s jacket that was marked for sale and a Walmart spokesperson said the matter is currently being investigated by state police:
“We take this seriously and are looking into this. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement on their investigation. A third-party pest management service has visited the store and we are working with them to assess next steps. In the meantime, we have blocked off the impacted area.”
Another employee told investigators that they saw a bottle of dead bedbugs near the men’s department.
