To be worried about bedbugs

I’m seeing constant articles of bedbugs infestations getting worse and worse. Is this really true or is it typical media scaremongering? I’m a bit terrified to get on the train now!

Where do you need to go to on the train? Can you afford a taxi instead? Or walk/jog/cycle/skate?
If there's been a legit outbreak reported on trains locally to you then I can't blame you for wanting to avoid them.
But don't listen to reports from people selling pest control services. They always bang on about beasties coming at you from every angle.

It does seem to of been a bad year for them on the holiday parks.

I wonder if the heat has helped them much like ticks have been horrible this year.
