🛌 In Italy, bed bugs are increasingly problematic, especially in hotels and accommodations. These blood-sucking nocturnal insects reproduce rapidly, creating discomfort for guests. The Italian National Institute of Health confirms bed bugs do not transmit diseases but their bites can provoke allergic reactions. Effective preventative measures are crucial to combat infestations, which are exacerbated by summer temperatures and tourist influxes. Recognizing signs of bed bugs, such as blood stains, fecal spots, shed skins, and a sweet musty odor, is key for timely detection. Staff training and regular inspections, including bed and nearby furniture checks, are recommended for prevention. 🌡️
