ROGERSVILLE - The Rogersville Senior Center and H.B. Stamps Public Library, which share a building in downtown Rogersville, were evacuated Thursday around noon afterbedbugswere detected during a routine pest inspection.
Hawkins County Mayor Melville Bailey said a pest control contractor reported that the bed bugs were discovered in the hallway that connects the senior center and the library.
That hallway is carpeted, has cloth furniture, and contains restrooms used by both the library and senior center.
(The exterminator) thinks the bedbugs are confined to the foyer, Bailey said. We called the state health department and they recommended we close the senior citizens center and the library since they are adjoining.
Bailey said the pest control inspection Thursday was routine and there were no previous complaints of infestation prior to the exterminator's report late Thursday morning.
About 25 people were in the senior center when the evacuation was ordered. To his knowledge, no one from the library or senior center has complained of bites, Bailey added.
As seniors left the Senior Center they were informed of Health Department recommendations on how to prevent spreading an infestation.
Seniors were told to go home, remove their clothing, place it in a bag, and take a thorough shower. Then they should wash the clothing in hot water and then dry it in a dryer on the hottest setting.
