Oct 3 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A San Diego Elementary school has been invaded by the deadly black spider. It may be recalled that the Americans are currently fighting off another type of bug, the bedbug. The country has been overwhelmed by a number of bedbugs that has not been witnessed for a long time.

The insects invaded the school, Pete W. Ross Elementary School in Kearney Mesa, last week and parents are worried over the infestation. Reports say one of the spiders was spotted on Friday and authorities of the school thought they had the situation under control, until they spotted at least four others in at least ten of the school’s twenty classrooms.

The black widow spider is one of the deadliest insects on the planet. A bite by the black widow can cause breathing problems and can lead to neurological disorder as well.

Authorities plan to fumigate the school to rid it of all the insects and already, there are plans for the school authorities and the board to meet on the next line of action, if the fumigation fails to eliminate the insects. Authorities of the school say this is the first time the situation has reached such height.
