CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.,None — The Marines have a fight on their hands that is a bit closer to home than usual.
Officials at Camp Lejeune said that bed bugs were discovered in a barracks room on the massive North Carolina base.
Public Affairs Office Maj. Brad Gordon said the pests will be eradicated and prevented from spreading. He said the Marines have been told there is sufficient funding to pay for the treatments.
Bedbugs have been infesting U.S. households on a scale unseen in more than a half-century. They are largely resistant to common pesticides.
