I just don’t understand anyone “hating” Paris, that’s all. Everyone held the door for me there.
I can speak French though not as good as I sued to , but I heard what they would say about Americans thinking we could not understand them,however the Louvre, Arc De Tromphe , Champs elysees was nice to see.
The south of France is much better
I’m pretty sure malathion has been banned for indoor use in the USA by EPA. It’s still available for outdoor use.
Which of course means you can buy it for outdoor application and use it on the bedbugs indoors when EPA isn’t looking.
” Bedbugs were eradicated in this country in the early 20th century. Gee, I wonder if open borders and illegal immigration have anything to do with it?”

Yes, illegals and open borders and the outlawing of DDT for questionable reasons. Bring back DDT.
Yes, I said that in my post also.
Between Paris and city of Nice, it is hands down Nice.
Paris is just another big city. Dirty in places, expensive and not as friendly as any smaller French town. If I win a lottery, I would seriously look at the French Riviera to live. It is a gorgeous place.
Probably not much. Bedbugs were never "eradicated," they were just reduced in number till nobody really thought about them.
The real problem is the bugs developing resistance to many pesticides, which is a natural process, often aggravated by overuse, and the banning of several of the more effective pesticides back in the 90s. This allowed the few bedbugs already present to begin to multiply naturally. There's no inherent need for them to have been brought in from overseas.
most of the bigger cities now are starting to look alike. I prefer the smaller towns and cities and take in what the locals take in. That way you can enjoy the culture and real food away from tourists
Diatomaceous earth is a proven winner against bedbugs. Just dust the entire car with food grade level diatomaceous earth once a month. It’s cheap and nontoxic to humans.
I hear ya. :^)
I think many big cities would get that rap frankly. I live in a large metropolitan area and visit small communities from time to time.
You almost fall over when someone says hi on the street.
Thanks for mentioning your experience FrdmLvr.
I was one of those people who was turned away when I went to my local hospital to give blood that day. I just didn’t know what else to do. For the last several years, I now donate blood on September 11. What better gesture than to save a life, right?
That’s a very nice gesture. I wonder what will happen this 9/11.
