Are bed bugs a problem in the UK?
Are bed bugs a problem in the UK? Bedbugs can be found in any city around the world, in any location, from youth hostels to five-star hotels. There are not yet clear numbers on the purported “explosion” of bedbugs in Paris, but in the UK, pest control company Rentokil reported a 65% increase in bedbug infestations in the UK from 2022 to 2023.
Is a hotel liable for bed bugs?
Yes, hotels are liable for bed bug infestations. Hotels have a responsibility to keep their property free of bed bug infestations. Bed bugs in hotel rooms could pose a threat to hotel guests; therefore, hotel owners and hotel managers have the responsibility to protect guests from bed bugs.
Can you tell if a hotel has bedbugs?
Because bed bugs can live anywhere that's warm and in close vicinity to sleeping humans, you'll also want to check the room's furniture. Don't forget to check the closet; remember, bed bugs hitchhike on luggage. If you see no bugs or fecal stains, the room is probably free of bed bugs.
