Bedbugs - article needed?

Hi, I am writing this for a dialogue for a school paper.

Traveller A: "This hotel has bedbugs."

Traveller B: "I can confirm the report about (the) bedbugs".

Is the definite article mandatory here? I think it's fine either with or without.

Either is acceptable.


Traveler B is speaking rather formally.
