Bed bugs have been a problem at the Pope Towers housing complex in Weymouth.
"There's somebody on the second floor...in a wheelchair. They've been spraying her, third time yesterday," said one resident. "When she woke up this morning, she had them crawling on her bed and on her pillows."
That resident, who wanted to remain unnamed, said it has been a perennial problem.
"They're on all the floors when you're walking here. My family's afraid to come in," said the resident. "My mom has not been in this building in three months."
Professional exterminators have been brought in.
Housing Authority Executive Director Michael Flaherty said officials have implemented a costly, long-term treatment plan.
