Bed bugs are back, though some question whether they ever left both Dulle and Hamilton Towers, located on Jackson Street.
One resident, Aleisha Brown, said the infestation is currently so bad that she and her holiday guests have been bitten.
"I am even worried to give out gifts I have. They (bed bugs) just seem to be everywhere," Brown said.
Though the towers have been treated numerous times for the nocturnal pests there is still a problem, acknowledged Allen Pollock, executive director of the Jefferson City Housing Authority.
