The Community Corrections Association has been taking remedial measures after bedbugs were found in recent months in two of its Market Street residential facilities.
We are working diligently with Grace exterminators and taking preventive measures to ensure the health and well-being of our residents, said David Stillwagon, chief executive officer of the association, which serves as a halfway house for criminal offenders.
Preventive measures include discarding the wood-frame beds the bugs are attracted to and replacing them with metal-frame beds in affected areas, he said.
Initially, bedbugs were reported in late December in a four-bed intake room at 1608 Market St., and the bugs spread to two other four-bed rooms there.
After that incident, two residents were given an anti-itch skin cream, Stillwagon said.
After the exterminator sprayed insecticide and beds were replaced in the three affected rooms and three nearby rooms, the bugs were eradicated there, Stillwagon said.
