There are bed bugs or the scent of at a courtroom at Provincial Court in St. John’s. Nobody knows when they arrived, but the last negative sweep of courtroom #9 was done over a month ago.
Treatment for the pesky insects has been initiated, so that courtroom is off limits until further notice.
Other areas of Provincial Court were inspected on Monday, all showing negative results.
The court has in place a proactive bed bug dog program where it contracts 48 inspections with a local pest company during the year.
