The White House is plagued with cockroaches, mice and ants, building maintenance files have revealed.
According to hundreds of White House work orders obtained by NBC 4 Washington, cockroach infestations were found in at least four parts of President Donald Trump’s official residence. There was also a complaint about ants in Chief of Staff John Kelly’s office.
Mice were also discovered to be living in the Situation Room — the US President’s crisis management centre — and the White House Navy mess food service area.
White House officials submitted hundreds of requests in 2017 for repairs, equipment and pest control to building administrators with the US General Services Administration (GSA), which helps manage maintenance needs in the West Wing and East Wing of the White House, according to the documents.
