A federal pest-control agency that suffered budget and staff cuts under Trump is now stuck with a bed bug infestation, according to reports.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which protects agriculture from pests, is dealing with a bed bug takeover at the Agriculture Department building, according to reporting by NOTUS.
One USDA employee told NOTUS that the irony of the situation "was lost on no one." Headquarters News noted on X that DOGE slashed the APHIS budget and fired its employees.
The George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville, Maryland, which houses a few USDA agencies, reportedly told employees about the bed bug problems in May, five employees told NOTUS, which also looked at a town hall meeting transcript. --HERE
