Bed bugs

Bed bugs - Following a suggestion from two French MPs there could soon be a public service in France dedicated to helping people get rid of bed bugs.

More than 130,000 sites across the country are estimated to be infested with bed bugs, according to authorities, including hotels, cinemas, and hospitals.

The two MPs have suggested the creation of a public service that would offer financial aid to help people get rid of the pests, and stop their continued spread. It can cost as much as €300-€350 on average to get rid of bed bugs.
