Bed Bugs Plague New Haven Apartment

Exterminators have been sent in, but residents are not sure if the treatment is effective.

A New Haven apartment building is dealing with some unwelcome guests: bed bugs.

Residents at 114 Bristol St. have been complaining about the pests for some time. While not every apartment has bed bugs, it seems everyone in the building knows about them.

“They’re itchy and some were biting,” said resident Kezzie Staton, who so far has only heard about the bugs.

Residents said exterminators have been inside the building over the past week, although they are not sure if the exterminators have been able to kill the bed bugs.

Neighbors hope the problem is taken care of soon, before the problem spreads to everyone.

“Management sent them over to do something about it, but the point is, are they doing a good job? We don’t know,” said one resident who goes by the name Robinson.

The management company would not comment on the situation.
