Nuevo Laredo homes infested with strange bugs

By KGNS News

Three homes in a colonia in Nuevo Laredo have been invaded by a funny looking insect.
One house in particular is completely covered in the strange bugs. One particular resident is asking authorities for help, as these bugs have taken control of her home.
This is one of the walls in the back of the home in the Colonia Guerrero, covered with these creepy crawlers.
The owner, Marilu Godoy, says her house in not the only one that has been plagued with these insects.
In fact, there are three homes, and they all look like this, insects crawling all over the floor, the walls, and even furniture.
Today she called authorities asking for help. Even authorities say they have no clue what type of bug this is.
The health department says they look like termites, but they are not.
The owner says its been several days since these insects came in to her house and they have taken over everything.
Meanwhile, authorities say they will fumigate to try to kill these insects, then they will see what they are dealing with.

..and how is this news to Laredo? Didn't Pro 8 news also report some weeks back about some limited number of kids in the very low income area schools of Nuevo Laredo of having lice or fleas? WOW! Pro 8 news..seems Nuevo Laredo and its insects are at the top of your priority news list. Now that's investigative reporting at its best. You go get those poor people and their insect problems! Yea! I guess if there is no crime in N.L. to report then this is the next best thing to bash 'em in the meantime. Good Job!

How can you fumigate AND then find out what kind of insect you are dealing with.Is the Mexican military doing it? Shoot first, ask questions later?

Can't tell due to poor resolution on my monitor but these do look like swarming termites or ants.
