MORENCI, Mich. (AP) – Students in a southern Michigan school district are getting a long weekend because of bed bugs.

Morenci schools in Lenawee County are closed Thursday and Friday. The superintendent says a “few” bugs were discovered in the high school Tuesday.

Michael McAran says the district is using a rubbing alcohol spray in buildings as well as dogs that can detect bed bugs.

“I would suggest that this would be a great time to make sure that backpacks, winter jackets, hats, gloves and boots are washed and dried in high heat,” McAran told parents.

Morenci is in southeastern Michigan near the Ohio border.
