Paris is in a battle against bedbugs. Officials are working to tamp down the problem after numerous reported sightings around the French capital.

“No one is safe,” Paris deputy mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said Friday on X, formerly Twitter. He called for “coordinated measures” between health authorities and other stakeholders and has asked Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to organize a conference on the fight against the insects. French Transport Minister Clement Beaune also said he would bring transit operators together to discuss the problem this week, aiming to “reassure and protect.”

Videos on social media appear to show the insects, which feed on the blood of humans and animals, crawling around everywhere from high-speed trains to buses. They have also been reported in cinemas and at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

  1. Lie. Lie. There are countries with so many tourists per year and have no bedbug problems. Let’s just say French people hygiene standards are not well taught in schools and hence adults don’t know what hygiene means in daily living. Thus exposing them to bed bugs and other nasty parasites. I stand to be corrected.

  2. It's simple, 2 spoons of washing soda, 1 spoon of washing powder mix with water and put in any spray bottle and spray it on spot they die you can see it live , do it twice a week and later write me please…🎉

  3. An influx of travelers means they'll be bringing a few back to their home countries on and in their luggage.

  4. Immigrants bring their pets? 3rd world countries don’t have the same standard of living. The people are helpless not dirty, why they want out.
