Bedbugs have reportedly infested Howard Stern's workspace in New York City, the Toronto Sun reports.
For the past couple of months, New York City has been swarming with the pesky little bugs, which have caused the closing of several movie theaters, shops and offices.
Shock jock Stern is the latest victim who has been hit by the bed bug epidemic in his office, where he broadcasts his Sirius XM Radio show. The had the space fumigated this past weekend. In hopes of getting rid of the bugs, he then brought in specially trained sniffer dogs, who also detected the bugs in his limousine.
The DJ has confirmed that his office is now "100 percent bedbug-free," although he cannot seem to take his mind off bed bugs.
"Supposedly we're 100 percent bedbug-free. The only place in New York City that probably is 100 percent bedbug-free . . . (But) I'm scratching every minute . . . You know how paranoid I am about bedbugs. I just wish our contract (with this office space) was done and we could get out of here," he says.
