As the UK prepares for a Bedbug invasion did The Simpsons predict it…again?!
The infestation has hit France and now specialists warn the bugs are perfectly capable of surviving the two hour Eurostar from Paris to King’s Cross.
London Underground
Bedbugs spotted on London underground as Sadiq Khan tackles issue, reports The Independent.
This video of the critters on the Victoria Line has gone viral.
The person who shared it on TikTok wrote: “The terrified passenger wrote in the caption: “Minding my own business on the Victoria line, a f*****g bedbug is on my leg.
“Said he’d got a great deal on the Eurostar and wondered if I could take him home. No!! Sort it out, Transport for London.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said: “I want to reassure those listening TfL have one of the best regimes to clean our assets on a nightly basis and we’re speaking to our friends in Paris to see whether there are any lessons to be learned.
“We don’t think those issues will arise in London, but no complacency from TfL.”
Bedbugs France
This video has been going viral and it is pretty rank, the veracity of the video is also under question.
However, reports from Paris and elsewhere in France talk of an infestation by bedbugs. Some prospective visitors are seeking to cancel their trips and get their money back
