You did read the OP article?

or
'Andy Linares, of New York's Bug-Off Pest Control Center, is
getting "more calls than we can deal with…We are getting
calls to five-star hotels and Fifth Avenue addresses from
people who will never admit to getting mauled by bed bugs.
It's getting out of hand, really out of control. Bed bugs
are a medieval scourge and they spread pretty much the
medieval way—they travel the trade routes just like the rats
that spread the plague."'

"the problem isn't limited to rooming houses or hostels.
Five-star hotels can also fall victim."

“You get bed bugs in five-star hotels, too, and even in
London, we treat hotel bed bugs every day. "
