Ealing Central Library closes after bed bugs are spotted in furnishings. Pest controllers in London report being "inundated" with calls about the blood-sucking insects and say their spread is "out of control".
Oh I work in hospitality, it’s something we are VERY concerned about. Albeit I am not in housekeeping, but we test very often and have local pest control basically on retainer in case something comes up. Steaming all the linens is fairly standard, but it only takes one case spreading to ruin a hotel.
Sometimes steaming linens is not enough if they get into headboards, box springs, the joints and screw holes of furniture, or power sockets or otherwise in the walls.
They’re a plague of apathy. The more they’re allowed to entrench, the harder they are to remove. It’s criminal negligence that a lot of places don’t even steam the linens, though at least it’s something.
