Enthusiastic eradication efforts spread from police holding cells to courtrooms, The Journal News reports.
The Peekskill City Courthouse was evacuated Wednesday after heavy doses of pesticide wafted through the building, and one person reported feeling ill, according to The Journal News.
The fumes were possibly caused by a heavy-handed contractor spraying for bedbugs in police headquarters, wrote reporter Matt Coyne.
The building is being ventilated.
