Three more rooms in Alondra have been quarantined as Housing officials move to stop the spread of bedbugs in the dorm and beyond.

Freshman Dean Schaffer said that residents have bedbugs, and little else, on the brain.

“I saw a bug in my room under my bed last night and I freaked,” said Schaffer, a copy editor for The Daily. “It was just a beetle, but [bedbugs] are the first thing you think about.”

Freshman Danny Clarkson, who had to evacuate his room Monday night due to bedbugs, said being aware of the infestation led he and his roommate to Alvin discover the critters in their one-room double.

“Because of it [spreading], we decided to do a thorough cleaning on Saturday afternoon,” he said. “Alvin didn’t find anything, but I found two in my bed frame.”

Residents say that exterminator Rich Crane has become a fixture of the dorm.

“I see him all the time — he ate dinner here last night,” Schaffer said.

Whitney said that despite the new quarantines, he is confident that the infestation is under control.

“The goal is to stay in front of it,” he said. “It’s more than we’ve had in recent years, but once you’ve dealt with it, you’re done.”

Clarkson said that while he wasn’t particularly pleased to vacate his room, he was glad that he and his roommate reported the infestation. The first students to find bedbugs in their room, he added, were less lucky. Those Alondra residents, whose room had hosted bedbugs since September, are unlikely to have any of their belongings returned to them.

“Crane said that in that room there were two million plus bedbugs and eggs,” said Clarkson, who is staying temporarily in Governor’s Corner. “Because we reported it early, we’re going to have all of our stuff intact.”
