Right now, the high number of travelers going to or through Paris is attributed to the aforementioned bedbug sightings. Officials maintain that more than three million people make their way through the city each day, in one form or another.
Some of these travelers inadvertently carry bedbugs with them on their clothes or suitcases. As these critters also remain fairly unsusceptible to insecticides, getting rid of them doesn’t always come easily.
Stay tuned for more updates
In the weeks ahead, people across the globe can anticipate more updates on what’s being done to remedy the bedbug situation in Paris.
Though until this crisis gets resolved, some travelers making their way through the city have opted to take their own precautions, such as standing up – instead of sitting down – on trains and buses.
Companies facing bedbug problems also started sharing their cleaning methods with the public to avoid losing customers. Officials, meanwhile, urge the masses to remain calm and understand that remedies to the bedbug infestations are underway.
