Bed bugs found in residence hall at Carlow University

PITTSBURGH — Bed bugs have been found in one residence hall on Carlow University’s Pittsburgh campus, a spokesman for the university said Tuesday.

According to Carlow University Director of Media Relations Drew Wilson, a bug-detecting dog was brought in last week to inspect every floor of Frances Warde Hall after two rooms were suspected of having bed bugs.

The dog confirmed the problem in the initial two rooms and detected a positive result in two more rooms plus an adjacent lounge area, which were all on the same floor. The residence hall has a total of 200 rooms.

Wilson said the initial two rooms received two treatments last week, while the other three rooms had a treatment last week and will receive a second treatment Tuesday.
