It may need more than removing seat covers. Bed bugs can be very hard to eliminate, hiding in cracks/crevices.

They also removed and replaced the carpets in the affected section.
It is also not inconceivable that bed bugs are also present on other aircraft whatever the airline

This may have been based on a misapprehension that bed bugs need soft materials to hide in.
They can and do survive on hard surfaces.
They need to bite and suck blood from mammals to survive, and, in particular, to lay eggs.
Their bites are so irritating they are unlikely to go unnoticed.
So it seems unlikely they could infest an aircraft for long undetected.
