Allegations of bed bugs at Pearl apartments

PEARL, MS (WLBT) -

Kelly Lancaster and her husband and children lived in apartment 49 at the Colonial Terrace Apartments in Pearl for several months, but moved out Thursday.

She says the apartment is full of bed bugs, and her family is covered with bites.

"We have a one-year-old, she's gotten bitten up really bad in her face, all over her back," Lancaster says.

"I mean this is awful. I had to buy scar cream," she says, showing us the welts on her back, arms, and legs.

Pamela Freeman lives directly upstairs.

"I had to put tape up where they were coming in at," she says, showing us where shehas sealed up her home in the corners and around the windows. She also sprays her bed every night, but she says the bed bugs still get in.

"Each time they feed, they shed. They grow," Freeman says. "My neighbor, she's got (bites) all over her."

Lancaster and Freeman say they've complained to management about it, and efforts have been made to treat the problem.

"They came in, heated our apartment to 140 degrees twice, sprayed some type of kerosene. It did nothing. We've thrown out our beds, everything," Lancaster says.
