Trick-or-treating was outlawed in Wyandotte, Michigan because of “a cockroach problem.”

The city closed the streets on Monday “to prevent additional roach migration” according to Facebook.

The letter further states that the city has decided that closing 20th Street, including the sidewalks, from Eureka to Grove on Monday, October 31, 2022, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, is in the best interest of the general public. “Grove, Orchard, Pine, and Eureka will only be accessible by cars and pedestrians due to barricades and signs.

City councillor Todd Hanna informed the Detroit Free Press that the garbage truck collected trash from a roach-infested property. He stated no one was home.
