Bed Bugs at JKUAT, Uon and KU Driving the Students Nuts

Students at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in Juja are uncomfortable lot. The whole institution seems to be having a problem which they now blame on imaginary forces. There is an infestation of bedbugs at the public university with most students accommodated in the school openly complaining that they can’t even concentrate on their studies with the infestation so widespread.

The problem started being serious in 2011. The students come with their own beddings while the university provide mattresses for all the borders. The most affected are the first and second year students but the problem has spread so fast that the whole university can’t seems to cope with the menace despite being the hub of science research in the country.

The hostels are also fumigated every holiday but that has not eradicated the little monsters.
