Exterminators were back in the Longmont Public Library on Monday morning after a weekend visit by a “bedbug dog” found nine infested chairs, including two that had already been treated last week.
Library director Judith Anderson said that two chairs were on the first floor near the elevator, one was in the computer lab and six were on the second floor. No bedbugs were found in either the children’s section or the meeting rooms.
The pests were initially spotted Aug. 18. An exterminator on Aug. 19 found five chairs had been infested and used CO2 to freeze the insects. On Sunday, two of the treated chairs caught the attention of Macaroni, a beagle-mix trained to sniff out living bedbugs, indicating that the insects had either survived or been brought back into the library.
The library has not closed and the treated chairs have not been taped off or swapped out.
