STEVEN SPIELBERG feels partly to blame for the bugs that plague those living near to Elstree Studios in London - because he may have inadvertently sparked the problem when he was filming INDIANA JONES + THE TEMPLE OF DOOM there.
The moviemaker reveals it was a constant challenge keeping the real creepy crawlies he hired for the shoot on set - because handlers couldn't keep them under control.
Spielberg covered his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, with the bugs for one shocking scene - and is now convinced he's partly responsible for infestations in West London.
He says, "The problem with bugs is they're fast and they're small and they can escape so it was very hard for us to keep the bugs in the confines of the very small set we had built.
"The bugs would literally be 25 per cent less every day we shot. And they would escape under the real estate of Elstree Studios and they'd eventually get into the eco system of the surrounding communities.
"By the last day of shooting we only had 25 per cent of our bugs left; not nearly enough to make the scene work - so we had to send out for more bugs."
