Rentokil Pest Control is warning homeowners, hoteliers and holidaymakers about a resurgence of one of Britain's most notorious blood-suckers - bed bugs. Figures from Rentokil Pest Control show that enquiries relating to bed bugs have soared by 23% this summer compared to last year, potentially as a result of increased travel, after the COVID-19 lockdown periods.
As the half-term holidays draw to a close at Halloween for many schools, Rentokil Pest Control is sharing hints and tips on how to spot a potential bed bug infestation, so travellers can avoid bringing back unwanted visitors from their holidays.
While the Covid-19 pandemic led to a reduction in the number of calls relating to bed bug infestations received by Rentokil Pest Control across the UK, a summer of renewed international travel may have contributed to bed bug enquiries reaching their highest levels since before the pandemic.
