The French capital, Paris, has recently been hit by an infestation of bed bugs, causing concern among Eurostar staff. These tiny, blood-sucking creatures have been spotted in a variety of places, including homes, movie theaters, hospitals, and even trains. Despite these reports, a government official has assured the public that there is no outbreak in the city’s public transport network.
In response to concerns that the infestation could spread to the UK, Eurostar has announced additional cleaning measures to disinfect its trains across the Channel if necessary. A spokesperson for the company stated that the safety and well-being of its customers is its highest priority and that the occurrence of bed bugs on its trains is extremely rare.
The spokesperson further explained that the textile surfaces of all their trains are thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis. This cleaning process involves hot water injection and extraction cleaning, which has proven to be highly effective in removing bugs. The company takes any report of hygiene issues very seriously. Their cleaning teams, in addition to regular cleaning, will also disinfect a train on request or as soon as there is the slightest doubt.
France’s transport minister, Clement Beaune, has announced plans to deploy sniffer dogs to inspect trains in the Paris metro system. He stated that while there have been 10 reports of bed bugs in the basement, none have been proven. Beaune stressed that any problems will be addressed and denied, stating, “There is no bed bug outbreak on public transport. There is no resurgence of bed bugs.”
Beaune also mentioned that data on any infestations will be published every three months, assuring the public that there is no need to fear or panic.
Rumors have also circulated on social media about bed bugs detected at Charles DeGaulle Airport in Paris, one of the busiest in the world. However, the airport has denied these claims, stating that there are no bugs present in the public areas of the terminals.
