Bed bugs, usually thought of as an American nuisance, are driving Parisians crazy with their appearance in hotels.
The pests, known as punaises de lit in France, are causing financial losses upwards of millions of euros for business owners in the French capital.
One Paris hotel group conceded that even ritzy hotels are falling victim to the pests — and the problem is worsening.
“The hotelier is a victim in this kind of case. It’s not that the hotel is dirty, but it has welcomed people who have brought the bedbugs with them.”
The number of reported bedbug cases in the nation has ballooned from 180,000 to 4000,000 in two short years.
