Searches for information on bed bugs have soared in recent weeks after an outbreak was reported in Paris during their prestigious fashion week. Here is where the highest number have been located.
Bed bug hotspots near Glasow have been revealed through an interactive map after a massive surge in cases.
A Sussex seaside town located 40 miles from the coast of France has been named as the worst place affected by the insects. Residents of St Leonards-on-Sea generated a higher rate of Google searches for the term ‘bed bugs’ than any area in the country in the last 90 days - amid fears that an infestation in Paris could mean the blood-sucking insects are also taking a hold here, reports The Mirror.
St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex faces directly towards the Normandy coast and is also geographically among the closest towns in Britain to Paris, so it is perhaps understandable why it comes top of the list with people searching for bed bug on Google Kilbirnie, a small town in North Ayrshire, is ranked sixth in the list and the other areas ranked in the top ten ‘hotspots’ are Debenham, a village in Suffolk, Broxbourne in Herefordshire, Sheerness in Kent, and Stewartby, a village in Bedfordshire. After Kilbirnie, six other places in Scotland appear in the full list of bed bug hotspots including the Caithness town of Wick in the far north of the country. There is one hotspot in Northern Ireland and five in Wales.
