As millions visit the popular city, the bed bugs could potentially travel home with visitors. NBC News’ Meagan Fitzgerald shares more as anxiety is quickly rising.

#BedBugs #Paris #France
sounds like judgment on France
Hmmmm..nasty wypepo
Imagine flying to Paris to do a waste of time report on some stupid bug, the highlight of your career 😂
The travelers and tourists are bringing them in, not taking them back
They are absolutely disgusting.. I got bed bugs from a man I was dating ..he lived in structure in a big city in the USA. He told me his place was be fumigated for coach roaches and he came down for a few days.w Well it was not true I got bed bugs. I asked him and said no he told me they had bed bugs which was absolutely a lie I would not have let me come down They travel well. Anyway an elderly woman told me how to get rid of them It was with dimematacious earth . Food grade I purchased it at a tractor supply . It is really messy and you have to vacumn it weekly . It took me five months to get rid of . I had to buy a powerful spray and buy a zip cover for bed mattress. I threw out my sofa my love seat and rug. It still haunts me to this day..They are so hard to get rid of. Do not waste money on bombs they hide in crevices under light switches . Etc and feed at night..Bad memories. I could not afford a exterminator. End of rant
JUDGEMENT OF GOD
E praga
Probably Geoengering from the Gates foundation with some form of virus then distributed. He did it with Ticks, Gnats, Mosquitos. This is no accident. People are so stupid. Your leaders are doing this.
Everything is bigger in the US. Roaches in NY, for example 😅
Bedbugs brought in from moozie countries, who sent their invaders out disguised as migrants.
if there are bats in attics there is a bug called bat bug that looks just like a bed bug also, so not to panic they don’t like human blood but only bats
The infestation happened in 2018 ……when trumpie , Melania and their entourage ….arrived in Paris , freeloading off the American taxpayer with another Vacation overseas , and bringing the bedbugs from trumpies bed bug city called Doral Country Club , ……..since their visit, the infestation has been labeled a plague …..the orange plague , by the French people .
Mass Immigration
LOL. I wonder why this might be…?
Yummy
THEY ALSO HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH RATS, I WOULD NEVER GO THERE.
2024 Olympics Event: The Invasion of the Paris Bed Bugs… coming soon
One time at Band Camp……..
Gross.
Bot those open borders sure do lead to progress dont they .
Filthy city, filthy people.
They can be removed with frequency. 🐦
Maybe they can strike a deal with the bedbugs. Give them a section of France where the bedbugs can control it and the rest of France can be free of bedbugs. They can call it Bedbug Land, or Vichy.
Oh that’s soooooo nasty!
I tried every bottle of treatment on the shelf from my local stores – my last resort was my Wife’s Hair Blow Dryer! The high heat from the blow dryer penetrated every crevice and corner wiping them out completely! They never resurfaced!!! I fought these things for years and the Blow Dryer was my ultimate savior! WARNING – IM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE ON THIS FORUM USE A BLOW DRYER TO CONTROL BED BUGS, BECAUSE THIS CAN START A FIRE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE!!!
We had them in Canada.library and bank, where my husband works, was invested. We had to do treatment several times…i had to get rid of sofa because they couldn’t save it. Pest control sprayed entire home 2x and all that was washable had to be washed on over 60c Celsius. To fight this nightmare was extremely exhausting. From now on I never open my suitcase in a hotel or jump in bed before I investigate every corner of the bed matras and sofa chairs. I learned from this horrible experience
As we already know, the real burden tends to be the measures taken, which tend to be severe in order to achieve maximum effect, but chemical spraying and such should be avoided if possible.
As so often, the real problem at the root is societal decay because of depraved government politics. Growing misery among the population leads to neglect of hygiene.
There are smart and elegant things one can do to curb it, but those require time and education, scarce resources in a declining society, even more so where burnout psychology is present, too, or the lowered abilities of old people to handle such issues themselves. And then you have the problem that one negligent person can be enough to cause so much more hassle for so many other people, and the conclusion from that must not be more oppression but societal care to empower the weakened.
🎶 _Bed bugs, bed bugs, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?_ 🎶
Simple to get rid if because they are very simple bugs. They are lice, they are not attracted to dirt, rotting food, or any of the normal things, they do not jump, or fly. What they are attracted to is you, your blood is their meal. When dealing with them, figure that, you are the target. Vacuum an area of your carpet, get a blow up mattress, place it in the vacuumed area, then surround the mattress with glue strips. I used fly tape and 1 by 2’s. Surround mattress with glue strips and wait. Eventually you will be catching the nymphs, When you get to them, change the strips out until you catch no more, you’re done.
Living in southern california i have never seen a bed bug.
Hey walnut shells around your bed and in your doorways everywhere I put walnut shells and that will send the bedbugs gone away. You can also go to Canadian tire and pick up bedbug traps.
There must be an animal that eats those bugs, may be birds.
Paris is not what it used to be and all of Europe for that matter. It’s a shame.
All travel from Paris to American must be cancelled immediately
Could this be a sign from above?
No lol
@Asa Foster Says the unbeliever.
@ROB D yes, why would i believe lol
@Asa Foster True, pagans do what pagans do. Respect
Paris is a dump. Been there one time…NEVER AGAIN!
Over immigration.
That’s awful. I’m a truck driver and got an infestation a few years ago. I was lucky that I had no reaction to their bites. They were getting into the cracks between panels in the sleeper bunk. I was lucky that I found an experienced exterminator when I went home. He tried the heat treatment first but some of them survived. So he used a spray over the areas where they would come out. The spray was very toxic to them but not to humans. And it was supposed to last six months so any bed bugs passing over those sprayed spots would die. And that worked. I have been bug free for years but still jump at every piece of lint or crumb I see and need to inspect to be sure it’s not a bug or shed exoskeleton.
THE >ONLY< BED BUG TRAP. THAT MIGHT WORK. IS YOU< IN YOUR BED. IS THAT IS FIRST STEAMED HEAVY & TREATED WITH DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. YOU SHOULD NOT BREATHE. FULL BODY COVERING PAJAMAS WITH MOSQUITO NETTING FACE COVERS.
protip stay tfk out of paris until they get rid of their slums. you see jaded tourists making selfies next to rats @the eiffel tower
Can’t imagine why… Oh, wait…we do know why. It used to be a problem isolated to pricey hotels that were used by the rich from the Middle East. Hotels actually had to get rid of mattresses, carpets, etc… They kept it relatively quiet, because they liked the business. Lots of money from the new oil money. I was young then, and the PC police weren’t around. So, people could actually tell the truth back then. Now, the rich ones are Westernized and don’t carry bedbugs around with them. Now, it is the poor, “undocumented” masses bringing them in. We put them up in hotels, hostels… They also just squat everywhere. Bedbugs love moving from public sofas and chairs to your backpacks, etc…
LOOK UP; FULL COVER BED BUG PAJAMAS. YOU NEED SOME FAST.
bedbugs can be anywhere – 1 star or 5 star, 1st world or 3rd world. If you travel, you really need to get into the habit of checking the mattresses and furniture of the hotel, airbnb or whereever you happen to stay.
Refugees brings bugs lice scabies bed bugs
My mom had a problem with bed bugs. We used a company that came in and used heat to destroy the bed bugs in all stages from egg to adult. They raised the temperature in her house to 130 degrees. It killed everything within 4 hours. No chemicals had to be used.
My family faced the same problem when we moved to a new place. We had to burn and discard every old furniture, mattresses, pillows etc. Heat helps I agree.
Fungal Spores. The Bio Weapon against bed bugs!
A lot of people think that bed bugs are present because people are living nasty. That is not entirely true. They become present to feed off of blood from animals and humans. When they are there, they are there and for a reason… To feed! Our blood has a unique feature similar to how carnivores can smell a wounded dear miles away. And just like with mosquitos, when they are there, they are there, but if you love eating bananas, they will pick you out first in a crowd because bananas, dose something to our blood that drives them ape.
Paris is one big slum in reality, all that facade, effile tower are just for tourists trap.
I thought France was all about Snails. 😂
Well, praise God, they’re not in my house. No more thrifting second hand items for me. I can’t take a chance. Even new clothes and furniture is risky nowadays. Look everything over thoroughly!
Huge freaking bedbugs 😱
France and Western Europe have a long history of filth. Google “Filth of European Royals”. Human feces was regularly left around in PALACES. People of no color have been known not to bathe regularly. This is not surprising.
wonder if the masses of migrants brought them…
Thanks Lester
Migrants brought them from Africa! We had a similar situation in America in the late ninety early 2000’s!
I’m cracking up!!!
ILLEGALS=BEDBUGS
they schould eat it
Fearmongering, yet not providing the full details. It’s not like bedbugs are only in France, and there are ways to prevent an encounter with them. But if you don’t, they can be the most annoying pests to get rid of. Bedbugs are everywhere, even where I’m from (Vietnam)!
Merde mon dieu!
Just checking in to see if this is the next covid level pandemic.
This is the first time I’m hearing about this
Gee I wonder if letting hundreds of thousands of migrants in with no medical exam have anything to do with this?
U ban Muslim WHO wears abaya from attending school..Now u have to cover ur whole body becoz of this bug sent from Allah to tell u Allah is Alive 24 hours..just follow His rules u will be ok.
Go back to your own country. This is the result of letting you people into their nation. Allah is NOT God, Jesus is. Repent.
The Gospel
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
They can’t possibly be harmless- it was flees on rats that carried the plague so fleas on humans when some of us have hiv or some crap is hardly a shrug off concern- may as well get jabbed with a dirty needle. Four horseman.
This will be in America I am sure with the millions of illegals on our country
These are in America and have been a loooong time. Yes, they got here from migrants lol.
Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

@a Resolute Protector 1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 2 Esdras 15:14 Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!
😂 Olympic games… Stay away. No thanks.
“Bed Bugs in Paris”
White distilled vinegar, store brand, will take care of them. Use a pump sprayer.
فرنسا بلد القذارة
Could this problem be mass imported?
Illegal immigrants taking them over to the UK.
Migrants bring these. Sadly… this same thing happened even when migrants from Bosnia came to America, all of our cities were hit with these things at once.
Another caucasoid plague. Nastiness.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another gift of diversity.
Parisites. Who’d have thought it.
ahahaha nope, cant travel to France, causes its infested.
I dont think your allowed to call illegal immigrants ” bed bugs”, but i agree that theres an infestation 🙂
rip fifa , gonna be like wuhan back at it again 💀💀💀
didnt have it till the illegal aliens storm the country
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were brought into the country by those bloody Immigrant,s, there Disgusting, that’s the Bugs and the Immigrant,s.
Frogs invaded Egypt when Pharao ruled there. Emmanuel Macrone’s country is now invaded by bed bugs.
I’m 44 years old, from Scandinavia, and until a few years ago I thought bed bugs was some cute American expression parents told their children over there, didn’t even know they were real. Honestly hope they won’t come here. Do they die in the winters?
They are really afraid of Copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4 A couple of treatments and they will be gone!
oh well French people always look rancid
This is what happens when people from filthy 3rd world crap holes are allowed to invade a country and are put up in hotels instead of deported or put in refugee camps. NYC is next!
Use mix of diesel and usec diesel engine.. it is better than sprayer..
Its missy to use diesel and engine used oil but very effective than chemicals sprayer.
Gee I wonder why…
It’s wonderful, isn’t it?
I went to Paris years ago and while we were in traffic this guy with a squeegee was forcefully cleaning the front windshield of cars in traffic for money. He did it to ours we told him to get off we don’t have any money. He tried to smash through our windshield. I will NEVER go back to Paris ever again and I live in NJ not the nicest place on earth either. Paris is a dangerous dump.
