Blood-Sucking Bed Bugs Overrun Paris Hotels and Hostels

French government officials say Paris is the epicenter for a blood-sucking infestation of bed bugs. As France prepares to welcome the world for the Olympic games, some unwanted visitors have already taken up residence. Travel expert Cassy Martinez says in an international city like Paris, this isn’t surprising. Bed bugs feed on the blood. They’re often found in mattresses and pillows, which makes hotels and hostels prime biting ground. Inside Edition Digital’s TC Newman has more.

You don’t have to throw out your clothes on. Just wash them in hot water and high heat in the dryer. They can live in your freezer, but they can’t take heat. That’s usually why they never live in peoples cars. In the summertime it gets really hot in a car.

@noble604 8 ай бұрын

TR4R - Spraying insecticides in a car doesn’t work on killing bedbugs. Bedbugs must be sprayed directly on contact. They just hide until the insecticide dries. Diatomaceous earth powder kills them. They walk through it and it takes off their hotter layet but even that takes days for them to die. If spraying surfaces or air killed them, bedbugs would have been killed a long time ago.

The hotels need to do heat treatments in all of the rooms. You can’t just treat one room because he suckers (no pun intended) can travel from room to room very easily through the air, ducts or through the walls like electrical sockets. Spraying them with pesticides has very limited results. Bed bugs can live for a long time in your freezer believe it or not, but they can’t take heat. That’s why they never live in your car. In the summertime your car gets really hot.

Bed bugs must of been hiding on the clothes and so they spread onto my mattress. My mattress ended up being tossed out because killing them was so bad because if you accidentally squash some of them they let out this big disgusting smell. Smelt worse than death. I never want them again.

This is terrible advice. All you have to do is every time you get home from traveling. Don't take any of your belongings inside. In the driveway, put all your clothes in a trash bag. And throw them in the dryer as hot as it goes for 30 minutes. Bed bugs dead. Then spray down your suitcase with rubbing alcohol. Standard protocol for traveling.
