Due to the current G7 meeting in Bavaria, local police officers are stationed in Axamer Lizum in Tyrol. But obnoxious pests have settled there in the property, so it’s time to back off! The Tyrolean police provides extensive information.
The G7 summit of the seven main heads of state and government in Schloss Elmau in Bavaria near the border with Tyrol will last – as reported – until Tuesday. About 18,000 police officers ensure the highest standard of security, including 500 Tyrolean officials.
Task Force Officers Affected
We are talking about a “relaxed commitment”. Among other things, the police officers carry out identity checks. So they have everything under control – almost everything! Because they did not expect annoying bed bugs that make their lives difficult.
According to “Krone” information, so-called EE police officers – ie task force officials stationed in Axamer Lizum during the G7 summit – have now been sent home because of the bedbug alarm. The pesky pests have infested the property — similar to what is currently the case at Innsbruck’s emergency shelter, the “Krone” reported.
Distributed list of treatment options
En route, the officers received a note with treatment options. Below is a small excerpt:
- Affected clothing can be freed from pests at 40 degrees (better 60 degrees) in the longest wash cycle, in the dryer at 60 degrees.
- Items that are not sensitive to heat can be treated for an hour in the oven or sauna.
- Items that cannot be treated with an insecticide but are still necessary (e.g. equipment) can get rid of bed bugs by keeping them in the freezer at minus 18 degrees for three days.
- The employees must shower sufficiently and the service vehicle must be in the sun for a day.
‘Only a few officials feel the effects’
Bernhard Gruber, spokesman for the Tyrolean police, confirms the plague: “We cannot say how many officers were actually affected. But few feel the effects. Because a staff reduction was planned anyway, all three trains of the Tyrolean task force were withdrawn from the Lizum. That’s about 80 police officers.”
Since bed bugs are not considered a disease, there is no obligation to report them. “Necessary measures are the responsibility of the accommodation provider,” explains the spokesperson. No one knows how the pesky bed bugs got in. “It’s inexplicable,” Gruber emphasizes.
