Bed bugs found in Nebraska’s State Office Building on Oct. 1 led to remote work, cleaning, and inspections.

Bed bugs were found in Nebraska’s State Office Building on October 1, prompting remote work for affected employees and extensive cleaning treatments. The discovery follows a prior infestation in a nearby state building, which remains partially closed. DHHS initiated spraying, steam cleaning, and vacuuming after hours, while staff were asked to remove personal items and undergo canine inspections. The department emphasized health and safety as a priority, urging employees to report concerns. The extent of the spread is unclear, and the Nebraska Association of Public Employees has not commented.
