French government officials held an emergency meeting on Friday to address the issue of infestation of bed bugs in Paris.

    As the city is set to host the Olympic Games next year, the government is struggling to control the recent wave of panic caused by the presence of bed bugs.

    Even though pest-control experts have not raised any alarm, passengers in transit and U.S. influencers in Paris for Fashion Week have reported sightings of bed bugs and bites from the blood-sucking insects.

    “Bed bugs are a worry for our fellow citizens who fear dealing with them. It is a real ordeal for those affected,” the French prime minister said.

    1. I used to kill bed bugs with a spray from Canadian Tire. It did 60% of the job but the deal was done when i bought a mattess protector to trap the bed bugs from Walmart. Never bitten again and this is what money making pest control people don't tell you.

    2. I hate them! I had a terrifying experience once I traveled and stayed at a hotel. Imagine in the most vulnerable moment of your life when you drift into sleep after a long day and have fear of these monsters in the back of your mind.

    3. In Russia I have bought a "chalk" named " Mashenka" it's usually is used against cockroaches . And they almost had gone . Of course you need to clean all the surfaces , especially books , better to throw out furniture that is totally spoiled . But it works

    4. All I'm saying is if this was happening in an African country, borders would be closed by now, people would be called nasty and some assaulted but ayt its cool.

    5. ahaha))) that's what it leads to when the GOVERNMENT "PUTS THINGS IN ORDER NOT IN ITS OWN COUNTRY"…. ))))) ..and climbs into someone else's // help Zelensky more)))

    6. Olympics pooootttile poooooru….. ISLAMIC COUNTRIES NEVER PARTICIPATE IN IT……SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS….Give atleast a respect to the Islamic shaheeds in Palestine…..Never participate in it to show the solidarity with the Muslims facing difficulties from earthquakes and floods….. ALLAH SWT is testing with Muslims……. ALLAHU AKBAR…… LA ILAHA ILLALLAH MOHAMMADAN RASOOLULLAH……

    7. Pure ammonia and 99% Isopropyl alcohol burn them and their eggs . But most exterminators don't want people's to know that .
      It's very effective and get rid of them once and for all.

    8. This is the anger of Allah. A result of forcing Muslim Women to abandon their Niqab and Hijab. Next French government will order everyone to cover from head to toe. What a bunch of idiotic politicians challenging Allah Almighty.

    9. Bed bugs are not a new… They infested Toronto in 2007 to this day. Then, I met a guy at Detroit's airport in 2018. His flight was canceled because the plane was infested with bed bugs…

    10. When i had be bugs I made a trap for these little bastards. I made a bowl in the middle of the room with warm water, sugar and yeast. The carbon dioxide produced by the yeast attracts them as it mimics your exhalation. Around it I would sprinkle a thin dusting of diatomaceous earth. This substance has tiny little shards that pierce their exoskeleton and will kill them. Very effective as well as had exterminator spray the perimeter of the room.

    11. The media is the only ones blowing this out of proportions. Do not believe what you're hearing, watching and reading. Paris is under a microscope due to the Olympic being hosted in 2024.

    12. France and other European countries do not bathe often, so such dirty things appear. The French invented scents like perfume to avoid taking a bath. It may also be a punishment for banning hijab in schools.

    13. Bed bugs in Paris, red whelts in blossom, Unending torture, under the sheets! Bed bugs in Paris, this is a feeling, No one can ever survive! I never knew a night of peace, Hoped they weren't near my face! I never knew my skin could sting, "Cause my blood they had to taste! Till bed bugs in Paris Where can I run to? What have they done to my life! 10/16/23
