(VINCENNES) - Vincennes housing officials are purchasing mattress covers for tenants in an effort to prevent a bed bug infestation from spreading.
Housing Authority Executive Director Linda Fredrick says, she has dealt with four recent infestations and that all four of the authority's properties have been infested at some point in the past year. The affected properties have been treated.
Fredrick says buying nearly 1,000 mattress covers at a cost of $6 to $10 each will prevent the problem from growing.
The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reports, the mattress covers were recommended by a pest control company. The mattress covers zip all the way around the mattresses containing any bed bugs.
