Bedbug Infestations in Paris Raise Concerns Ahead of 2024 Olympics

Reports of bedbugs in public spaces such as trains, movie theaters, and transportation hubs have raised anxiety in Paris.
The French government is taking action to address bedbug infestations through meetings, campaigns, and transportation monitoring.
The bedbug problem is attributed to increased international travel, resistance to insecticides, and high population density.
Precautions are recommended for travelers, including inspecting rooms, keeping belongings sealed, and washing items at high temperatures.
Pest control demand has surged as over 10% of French households suffered infestations between 2017-2022.
