A Lawrence motel closed down three of its rooms Tuesday after a health inspector found bedbugs inside.

The motel, Econo Lodge, 2525 W. Sixth Street, was inspected by a Kansas Department of Agriculture health inspector Tuesday after a complaint was filed.

According to the inspector’s report, which is available online at agriculture.ks.gov, live bedbugs were found in three rooms.

The Econo Lodge’s property is listed under the Shreeji Sai Hospitality Corporation, which lists Rupesh Patel under its mailing address.

Representatives from Econo Lodge did not immediately return a phone call from the Journal-World seeking comment for this story.

Once notified of the bedbug infestation, the motel voluntarily agreed to close the three rooms until the pests have been eliminated.

The Econo Lodge is currently listed out of compliance with health regulations and will be subjected to a followup inspection.
