Police probe release of bed bugs in Edinboro Walmart - TribLIVE

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating after someone reportedly released bed bugs inside a Walmart store in Washington Township in Erie County.

A manager at the Walmart, located at 108 Washington Towne Boulevard, found a closed pill bottle that had live bugs inside tucked in a boys jacket, according to WENY News. The manager called police Thursday to report the incident.

Store officials contacted Ecolab, according to GoErie.com. An Ecolab employee on Friday observed bed bugs actively crawling around in the mens fitting rooms, police reported to the media outlet.

A second closed pill bottle containing several dead bugs was found by a store employee on the floor in the mens department near belts, police reported, according to GoErie.

Bed bugs are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep, according to the CDC. They are reddish brown and roughly the size of an apple seed.

Most bedbug bites are painless at first, but later turn into itchy welts, according to WebMd.

Bed bugs do not carry disease and are not considered to be dangerous; however, an allergic reaction to several bites could require medical attention. Getting rid of bed bugs from a home or business can be complicated and expensive.

State Police in Girard are in charge of the investigation. The Walmart store said they were working with a pest control company.

This isnt the first report of bed bugs inside a Walmart store. Last February, a woman in Sand Springs, Oklahoma reported finding a bed bug in a store. There also was a similar report in Phoenix in 2016.
