I get where you are coming from (frustration with people's covid behaviour) but I don't like the bed big stigma you are putting out here. Bed bugs don't spread by human to human transmission. You can have bed bugs at home and go to a birthday party without spreading bed bugs. 

Bed bugs rarely spread by like hitching a ride on clothes to another location. When they do, it's usually only if an infestation is really really bad. And lots of people regularly go into such places (shelter, social workers) without bringing bed bugs home using pretty simple precautions. 

So I gotta push back against applying stigma to people dealing with bed bugs at home. It's like unclean diseased (poor) stigma. That's bad. Having bed bugs can really suck and be really distressing, but it's also pretty routine in lots of parts of the world (increasingly I think it's fair to say if you live in city apartments you are gonna get them at least once) and spotting and get rid of them can also be pretty routine if people are well informed. Stigma hinders this.

Maybe the analogy to irresponsible covid behaviour you are looking for is more like people curbing a couch or bed they know has bed bugs, and not labelling it as such, not giving a fuck if someone takes it home with the bugs.
