'My kids get bedbugs in their ears' - The family forced out of their home by an insect plague
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA family has been moved from their council flat due to a bedbug infestation - which they say became so bad they refused to go outside.
Mark Henderson and Chelsea Francis feared passing the insects to others so would stay holed up in the one-bed property in Fulham, south-west London.
The couple - parents to Ewan, two, and Riley, four weeks - say Mark has been unable to work as a result. This means they have been forced to live on £900-a-month benefits, they claim, as Chelsea has been declared unfit to work due to suffering with epilepsy.
Hammersmith & Fulham council took action on October 19 and moved the family into a hotel while a new home is looked for.
