Guess who’s baaaaaack? While the pandemic stopped most travel for 2020, and there was a “short” reprieve in bed bug cases, it did not stop the dreaded bed bug. They were still breeding faster than Samantha Jones on a Friday night! (Sex and The City reference😂). As travel ramped up in 2021, the infamous hitchhiker began to rear its ugly head, and with a shortage of staff in businesses such as hotels it has been difficult to monitor for the signs of bed bugs, thus allowing their numbers to grow exponentially. Planning to travel in 2022?
