Eight bed bugs have been found at P.S. 57 in Park Hill since September, including two just this past week.

In compliance with school protocol, the specimens were placed into plastic bags and shipped to the Department of Education.

School officials said the rooms where the bed bugs were found will be inspected.

Parents told NY1 they want more than just random inspections and one fourth grader said one battle with bed bugs is enough.

"It was like a horror. I couldn't itch it because it could get worse or turn to sores or warts," said fourth grader Tysean Benjamin.

"It don't make it infested but I would like to know, so I could check my kids when they come home," said parent Dorrine Irwin.

"Kids they go to class, the gym, the cafeteria. They play with each other, they go hang their coats in the lower locker rooms. It's being passed, passed, passed like a ball," said parent Latif Smith.

The principal sent a letter to parents that stated the school was working to identify bed bugs and have licensed pest control specialists to treat the rooms if a problem was found.
