    A city has been dubbed \u201cDisneyland for bedbugs\u201d after calls to exterminators soared.<\/p>\n

    Locals in Hong Kong are panicking, with hundreds of calls per day being made to help clear the pesky bugs from homes and businesses. The chaos comes weeks after the UK and many parts of Europe struggled to control a bedbug invasion, leaving hundreds covered in itchy red spots from the creepy microbeasts.<\/p>\n

    Francisco Pazos, the owner of Nobedbugs-HK has now spoken out about how bad the chaos has become. Claiming he normally has around 400 requests per month, he told South China Morning Post: \u201cWe have done a month\u2019s work in the last three days. The amount of work we have right now is unbelievable.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHong Kong is like Disneyland for bedbugs \u2026 because it is so dense, there are lots of places for them to lay eggs but also move from person to person. This demonstrates the significant level of concern among Hong Kong citizens regarding the widespread bedbug issue and their proactive approach in acquiring appropriate products to prevent infestations.\u201d<\/p>\n

    And Henry Cheng Kwok-hang, owner of rival firm Ivy Pest Control Corporation, claims his workload has doubled from 10 calls per month to 20 — and a change in weather could made the situation more difficult. He said: \u201cFrom November, Hong Kong will become cooler and the humidity will decrease, so it is not a suitable climate for many insects, including bedbugs.<\/p>\n
