Justin says the main area of concern at this point is in and around the Department of Public Safety, which was closed for a 4th business day.

Atrium Grill also elected to close Monday to do a deep clean; although, Eastgate management stresses that workers have not discovered bedbugs inside Atrium Grill.

Justin tells News On 6 that Playtime Child Development/Learning Center and the Tulsa Health Department Food Employee Training Center are scheduled to be inspected by his team Tuesday.

The plan is to inspect each business inside or connected to Eastgate Metroplex this week; although, Justin admits there is some work still being done with management to allow his team into each department to inspect.

 Justin says he is concerned about the Playtime Child Development/Learning Center, and it is a priority to get in there and check.

Mother Nature's is confident that with the right treatment plan there is a 100 percent chance of solving the bedbug issues at Eastgate Metroplex.  A plan of action will be in place by next Monday.
