Bugbug Problem Forces Over 20 Out of Germantown Public Housing

QUINCY, MA — Over 20 people who live inside a public-housing complex in Germantown will have to live in hotels while the city resolves a bedbug infestation.

The residents of the 22 units will have to stay away for about four days as the city fumigate the apartments, according to the Patriot Ledger. James Marathas, Quincy Housing Authority’s facilities director, said the city will spend $40,000 to get rid of the pests.

Residents are likely to be back in their homes by the end of the week.
