Read our privacy policy Bedbugs could be lurking in the “dark crevices” of furniture as well as mattresses, an expert has warned amid fears that an apparent outbreak of the insects in Paris could spread to the UK. “So, after you’ve got up, it’s unlikely that you’ll see them in your bed unless you’ve got a really bad infestation, and you’ll be aware of it then because you’ll have lots of bites.” The academic warned that people with bedbug infestations will likely need professional help, adding: “It could be that they have to dismantle furniture, go behind skirting boards, and they’ll have better equipment to be able to reach the bedbugs that are hiding.” A wave of panic was sparked in Paris and other French cities when people started posting videos on social media of bedbugs on public transport seats and other places. Dylan Rubens, 33, a London-born teacher living in the artist quarter of Montmartre, Paris, spoke of his “nightmare” after finding bedbugs in the seams of his bed and bedroom curtains. “We’ve been inundated with calls about bedbugs – we’ve been flat out for at least the last eight or nine months with them,” he said.
