A state office building in Sacramento has been temporarily closed due to a suspected bedbug infestation, prompting immediate action from authorities to ensure the safety and health of employees and visitors. The closure comes as officials work to assess the situation and implement necessary pest control measures.
According to reports from PBS KVIE, the state office building will remain shut while professionals conduct a thorough inspection and treatment to eliminate any potential bedbug presence.

State officials are urging employees to remain vigilant and report any signs of bedbugs in their workspaces. The pest control process is expected to take several days, during which time employees will be directed to work remotely or from alternate locations.
