EDINBORO, Pa. (NBC) — People in Pennsylvania are bugging out after police say someone released bed bugs inside a men's dressing room at a Walmart.
It happened Thursday in Edinboro, Erie County.
Police say a manager at the store found a closed pill bottle with live bugs crawling inside.
The next day, Ecolab was contacted and found bed bugs crawling inside the men's dressing room.
Another closed pill bottle that contained several dead bugs was also found on the floor of the men's department near the belts.
A spokesperson with Walmart said the affected area has been blocked off and a third-party pest management service has visited the store.
One man who shops at the store says he's not all that concerned.
"It kinda bothers me, but I know the management here; they're gonna take steps to go ahead -- and like -- if it's actually a fact, uh, the management here at Walmart, uh, they are not reactive, they're more proactive," said Russ Gaylor, a Walmart customer.
There is no word yet on who's responsible for releasing the bugs.
Pennsylvania State Police are continuing the investigation.
