NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- An MTA control tower in Queens was forced to shut down once again for fumigation after bed bugs were found on Monday night.<\/p>\n
According to Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Tim Minton \"one bug\"was discovered at the Continental Master Control Tower in Forest Hills.<\/p>\n
For the second time ina week, exterminators were brought in to fumigate the tower after the evening rush.<\/p>\n
Last week, the tower wasshut down during rush hour to be fumigated, causing major delays for thousands of riders.<\/p>\n
Officials said they were unsure of where the bugs were coming from.<\/p>\n
\"It is conceivable that this bug originated somewhere other than these premises,\"said Minton. \"We cannot conclude and we do not conclude that the source was internal.\"<\/p>\n
On Jan. 8, an employee reported spotting bedbugsnear some chairs and that area was fumigated.<\/p>\n
A rep said that thefour chairs that employees had been worried causedthe infestation were removed and will be replaced.<\/p>\n
