South Korea has started a campaign and an establishment of a task force to tackle this alarming rise of cases. South Korean citizens have created websites for updates of bedbug infestations across the country. In Hong Kong, it started distributing leaflets on bedbug transmission to arriving travelers. Authorities have also deep cleaned its Airport Express train. Residents have done their part by ordering insecticides off groceries and local E-commerce platforms, where sales of anti-bed bug products have jumped a lot. Sightings and growing concerns about bed bugs have also started in Singapore and Japan. The rise of these infestations have been correlated with human travel as the bedbugs hide in crevices like clothing and suitcases. These bedbugs are said to have developed resistance to common insecticides and are efficient at multiplying through inbreeding.
