A video has surfaced showing multiple mattresses piled up and littering a street in Paris, France, amid a current bedbug infestation. Aarya Bondge, an 18-year-old fashion student, was walking home from class when she noticed the collection of mattresses on the street. Bondge told SWNS that some looked to be new and some looked to be old — noting that many had plastic coverings surrounding them.
The 9th district street she was walking on is called Rue Saint Lazare and is home to many different hotels. The student captured the sight of mattresses on the street — and noted that hotels might have been throwing out the beds due to the recent bedbug infestation taking over the city. 'I don’t know if it was bedbugs … They might have been throwing out their mattresses because of that,' she said.
Bondge told SWNS that Paris is still dealing with the issue — and Parisians are not taking it lightly. 'Line 6 of the metro is still terrible,' she said, noting that many people are refusing to sit on the seats due to bedbugs. 'I would still rather stand for an hour than touch the seats,' she said. The bedbug outbreak began recently in Paris — and many are concerned with what the bugs could be spreading.
The CDC recommends contacting a pest control specialist to check for bedbugs if any signs appear. Hannah Grossman of Fox News Digital, as well as Amy McGorry, contributed reporting. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
