Exterminators were back in the Longmont Public Library on Monday morning after a weekend visit by a “bedbug dog” found nine infested chairs, including two that were treated last week.

The pests were initially spotted Aug. 18. An exterminator on Aug. 19 found five chairs had been infested and used carbon dioxide to freeze the insects. On Sunday, two of the treated chairs caught the attention of Macaroni, a beagle-mix trained to sniff out living bedbugs, indicating that the insects had either survived or been brought back into the library.
The library has not closed and the treated chairs have not been taped off or swapped out.
“Yes, we are staying open,” Anderson said in an email to the library staff Monday. “Bedbugs are present in our society and anyone at anytime could walk through our door and reinfest the chairs.
