>> It is a scourge in the UK as well
Do you mean in AirBnB’s or generally? Fwiw I don’t know or know of anyone in the UK that has ever dealt with bedbugs. They’re a thing I’ve only heard about in TV shows set in NYC.

Last spring we stayed at an equally nice family place in the black forest (Germany) also with bed bugs.
My brother bought a nice wooden cabinet in London that turned out to be infested.
It's incredibly distressing cuz you don't want to bring them home. And I've spoken with a fair few people since who've had similar experiences in the past few years.
No idea where they came from, though. But the building is old and they might have crawled from a neighbour's bedroom.
Generally. In any case they get carried very easily in clothes or suitcases and you need only a couple of them to start an infestation somewhere else. If they are in AirBnBs, it means that there are also in a lot of houses.
I got some in a London flat. A friend of mine got some in Manchester. They are not that common, but they are on the rise, which is concerning. It’s like early COVID, nobody has it until everybody does.
