Bedbugs found at Meadowview Posted: 06 Mar 2011 11:27 PM PST Monday, March 07, 2011 By RON ZEITLINGER DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR SECAUCUS - Two patient rooms at the county-operated psychiatric hospital in Secaucus have been quarantined for the past seven weeks after bedbugs were found there, a county official confirmed last week. A patient in Room 306 of the Meadowview Psychiatric Hospital reported a bite on Jan. 11 and subsequent testing revealed that there was a bedbug infestation in Room 306 and bedbugs were found in Room 307 as well, Hudson County spokesman Jim Kennelly said. The patients were removed from those two rooms, Kennelly said, and the rooms have been vacant since. The rooms were treated by an exterminator, but when officials checked the rooms in mid-February, one bedbug was found in each room. Kennelly said the county policy is to quarantine a room 30 days when bedbugs are discovered. Kennelly added that the second testing of the rooms revealed the presence of bedbugs, but not to the level of an infestation. A third test of the rooms will be conducted in mid-March.
