PA State Police say the bedbugs were believed to have been released in the men’s changing room of the store located on Washington Towne Boulevard in Erie County.
A manager told police that store staff found a pill bottle containing live bugs on Thursday in a boy’s jacket that was for sale.
Walmart disposed of the jacket and pill bottle and called in a hygiene company to investigate.
A representative from Ecolab found bed bugs crawling around in the men’s fitting room.
