Bed bugs torment Trump administration's USDA office after a recurring infestation was reported inside the US Department of Agriculture's George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville, Maryland. The building is home to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), a federal agency responsible for protecting American agriculture from invasive pests and diseases. The infestation led to fumigation efforts, employee telework periods, complaints about treatment-related fumes, and renewed concerns after bed bugs returned. USDA officials have explained the steps taken to address the problem and have outlined new measures aimed at eliminating the infestation from the facility.
