Madrid Preschool Closed: Bed Bug Infestation Causes Chaos for 200 Families

Madrid Preschool Closed Due to Bed Bug Infestation San Blas, Madrid – The Manojo de Rosas preschool in the San Blas district of Madrid was unexpectedly closed on Monday due to a significant bed bug infestation. The closure has affected approximately 200 families, causing considerable disruption and concern among parents. "We are 200 affected families, juggling childcare arrangements," explained one frustrated parent. The city of Madrid has confirmed the infestation and is actively working to address the problem. Teams are disinfecting the area and sealing entry points to prevent further bed bug incursions. However, the reopening date for the preschool remains uncertain. A city official stated, "These are environmental bed bugs; they don't bite, and they don't transmit diseases. We are taking steps to clear the infestation, focusing on the adjacent municipal plot, which is the source of the problem." While the city assures the bugs pose no health risk, parents are still anxious about the ongoing situation and the lack of a clear timeline for the preschool's reopening. The city's efforts to resolve the issue are ongoing.
