The affected estates are Flamingo, Lake View, Rhonda, Kaptembwa, Mwariki, Bondeni and Kivumbini.

Sadly, the affected families might have to endure more sleepless nights as the county health department has run out of a special insecticide it has been using to control the bugs.

“We are in the process of starting a programme whereby the residents will be trained on how to control bedbugs,” Nakuru county Health Officer, Mr Samuel King’ori, said.
