The state Department of Social Services and Department of Rehabilitation Services offices at 3580 Main Street, Hartford, were closed Thursday afternoon because of an issue with bugs.
Several employees have experienced bug bites and the department is closed so pest exterminators can go through the three-story building at 3580 Main Street.
Officials from the Department of Social Services said several employees were sent home at 1 p.m.
“We are working with the landlord to have the building treated so that staff can return to work promptly,” a statement from DSS says.
The building is expected to open for normal business hours tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.
DSS clients who need immediate service should call the agency’s Benefits Center at 1-855-6-CONNECT or visit www.connect.ct.gov.
