France has been facing a growing problem of bedbugs for several months. Nuisance insects have invaded public transport, cinemas, schools, hospitals and other public places. Now they have also reached Germany. Will Poland be next?
Bedbugs in Paris and all over France. They move further from the Seine
The bedbug situation in France has contributed to an increase in demand for pest control services. Schools are also closed due to their presence. The most famous case occurred in October last year, when teachers at the Elisa-Lemonnier high school, located in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, refused to come to work. All because of the presence of bedbugs in several classrooms, office rooms and changing rooms.
The situation with bedbug invasion is changing dynamically. Troublesome insects are making their presence felt not only in France, but also in Germany. Christian Klockhaus, a chemist, head of the research and development department at a company specializing in insect control, admitted some time ago that the spread of travel and trade has contributed to the intensification of the bedbug problem. – People may have stopped paying attention to them, but they are certainly not extinct. In Germany, unlike France, you don’t see so many of them on buses and trains. For now, the problem is limited to apartments and houses – explains the expert.
Bedbug invasion in Paris. Is Poland at risk?
Many people fear that the bedbug plague may move to eastern Europe and soon reach Poland. In one of the interviews, an expert in the field of insects, Prof., spoke on this matter. Stefan NiesioĊowski with “Fakt”. – Bedbugs feed on blood, including human blood. It’s a fact. But I follow the literature and I don’t see any signalsso that we are at risk of a bedbug plague. It may be that there will be more such cases in some city in France, but we can be calm – he reassured. To recognize the presence of bedbugs, you should inspect not only the walls, but also all nooks and crannies, upholstered furniture, beds and textiles. Triangular-shaped bites, most often on the shoulders, chest, back and limbs, are also evidence of their presence. The most popular home remedies include the use of steam, iron and baking soda. You can also choose professional insecticides or disinfestation.
