A pest control company conducted an inspection of Main Street Elementary School on Thursday and found no bed bugs in the school.

According to Titusville Area School District Superintendent Karen Jez, Ehrlich Pest Control was at the school Thursday evening to inspect the schools bathrooms after the discovery of a bed bug infestation in late January.

The infested bathrooms were treated on Feb. 2.

As part of the regular protocol, they [Ehrlich] did a second application of pesticide and then that sat overnight, Jez said. All the areas treated were cleaned on Friday for the return of students on Tuesday.

Students had Friday off, and also have Monday off for the Presidents Day holiday.

Our own maintenance folks are inspecting [the rooms] daily, and Ehrlich did an inspection and found no bed bugs, Jez said.

She added that as a precaution, students will continue to bag their individual belongings until March 5, the date of the next inspection.
