Be on the lookout for bed bugs if you're travelling over to France for the Rugby World Cup this weekend.

Pest control provider Rentokil is warning Irish rugby fans to be vigilant and check everywhere they sleep, after reports of significant outbreaks of bed bugs across Paris.

The pests have been spotted in homes, cinemas, hospitals, on the metro and on trains.

Rentokil's Area Technical Manager, Dr. Colm Moore, says while they can be a nightmare for people travelling, they don't pose a health risk.
