The Inspector General at the V.A. has discovered a massive cockroach infection at the Edward Hines, Jr. Veterans Affairs facility in Hines, IL. "We substantiated the persistent presence of cockroaches in and around
NFS areas. During our unannounced site visit on May 10, 2016, we found
dead cockroaches on glue traps dispersed throughout the facility’s main
kitchen. We observed conditions favorable to pest infestation. In the
main kitchen, we found open cardboard boxes with dry food products
exposed, food items in open cardboard boxes that were stored less than 6
inches from the floor, several cracks in the flooring, water
infiltration around the floor drains, and trash receptacles without
lids."
Food trays have often been delivered with both dead and live cockroaches on them.
But, everything is hunky-dory at the good old V.A. You see, cockroaches are considered to be permanent-party personnel and not subject to removal.
