Oklahoma courthouse forced to close for the day after bedbugs spotted crawling all over a lawyer's clothes

[Sugar Cookie]

A courthouse in Oklahoma was forced to shut its doors for the day on Monday after bedbugs were seen falling from an attorney's suit.

The Rogers County Courthouse in Claremore closed at 12pm for reasons of public safety as a result of the stomach-turning discovery.

Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton said an unnamed lawyer was in third-floor during a docket call at 10.30am courtroom when another visitor noticed what appeared to be bedbugs crawling on his neck.

More bedbugs were found on some file folders after the same lawyer had placed his jacket over them.

Sgt Mike Clarke, the head of security at the courthouse, told 23ABC News the attorney in question appeared unfazed by the presence of the revolting critters on his body and clothes.

As a result of the infestation, the courthouse was evacuated as a precaution and exterminators were called in to rid the 90,000-square-foot building of the blood-sucking insects.

What's the difference between a bed bug and a lawyer? The bed bug eventually falls off.

With the right product, applied right both roaches and bedbugs are pretty easy to rid of. Several homes in my neighborhood wound up with one or both. Idk what everyone else used (though I see exterminating truck up here every so often) but I dusted with diatomacius earth and that was all she wrote for those little nasties. It really wowed me with the any problem I had for years no matter what I done I couldn't get rid of them it drove me fkin nuts. The ground around here was saturated with ants. Couldn't pot flowers without ants eventually infesting them. They shorted the electrical in a.c. unit. I don't think they were ordinary native ants but the crazy tawny ants the south was having problems with. So I apply that de outside too.

I have PTSD from bed bugs. I'd never even seen a bed bug or thought it to be an issue until I moved to Yakima. Then I was forced to deal with them. I didn't sleep for weeks cause I was convinced that they were on my kids and I. My poor kids were subjected to daily body checks for bites. My daughter is allergic to the bites so they swell up and itch. This lawyer probably wasn't allergic so the bites did not bother him. Not to mention bed bugs don't run around in the day where they can be spotted running out of clothes... he must have one hell of a infestation.
If anyone needs to know anything about bed bugs you can ask me... I drove the pest control guys crazy with questions. @62julietandvoid the diatomaceous earth stuff is amazing!!! It will kill anything!

There is a product called sterifab that is good for the furniture. Kills bedbugs, roaches, anti microbal.

I dont see the big deal. Why would an Oklahoma courthouse worry about bed bugs when the cockroaches that fill it every day are so plentiful?

And just to be clear, im referring to the people of Oklahoma there, im calling them cockroaches because they are ignorant hick scum. What a trash fucking state.
