Britain is under threat from the bed bug - an insect that was once almost completely eradicated from our shores in the 1950s, but is now back with avengeance.
An epidemic of bedbugs is sweeping the nation, fuelled by air travel and warmer summers leading to the number of infestations soaring by 500 per cent in the last two years.
Cities such as Cambridge and Peterborough have taken the brunt of the epidemic because of the large number of people on the move every day.
