Bed Bug Control
How to get Rid of Bedbugs

The biggest bedbug outbreak since World War II has sent a collective shudder among apartment dwellers, college students and business travelers across the nation. Bed bugs are increasingly becoming a problem within residences, including homes, apartments, hotels, cruise ships, dormitories and shelters. This is the word from the Harvard School of Public Health.

What are Bed Bugs?
Bed Bugs have oval-shaped bodies with no wings. Before they feed, they are about 1/4 inch long and flat as paper. After feeding, they turn dark red and become bloated. Bed bugs have a one-year life span during which time a female can lay 200-400 eggs depending on food supply and temperature. Eggs hatch in about 10 days.

How do bed bugs get into my home?
Bed bugs are often carried into a home on objects such as furniture and clothing. If you think you have a bed bug problem, check for live bed bugs or shells in the following areas:

Seams, creases, tufts and folds of mattresses and box springs
Cracks in the bed frame and head board
Under chairs, couches, beds, dust covers
Between the cushions of couches and chairs
Under area rugs and the edges of carpets
Between the folds of curtains
In drawers
Behind baseboards, and around window and door casings
Behind electrical plates and under loose wallpaper, paintings and posters
In cracks in plaster
In telephones, radios, and clocks

Bed Bugs can also travel from apartment to apartment along pipes, electrical wiring and other openings. If the infestation is heavy, a sweet smell may be noticed in the room.

Bed Bug Information for Landlords and Property Managers
February 2008 Toronto Public Health article

Bed Bugs are greeting some college students as they head back to school.

Multi-unit dwellings, including hotels, apartments, hostels, shelters, student residences and rooming houses, are high-risk locations for bed bug infestations. The best method to deal with bed bugs is Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which combines a variety of techniques and products that pose the least risk to human health and the environment.

Collaboration between tenants and landlords is necessary to eliminate bed bug infestations. The following steps are recommended for landlords and property managers dealing with bed bug infestations:

Early detection of bed bug infestation: respond to tenant’s complaint about bed bugs, and conduct proper inspections. Consult Toronto Public Health or professional pest control services about how to confirm bed bugs infestations.
Control of bed bugs: use a professional pest control service experienced in bed bug control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Preparation: consult with tenant(s) in bed bug-affected unit(s) to ensure adequate preparation steps have been taken to prepare room(s) prior to treatment.
Inspection after treatment: ensure an inspection by either the property manager/landlord or pest control professional is carried out following treatment to assess the treatment’s effectiveness and determine if more spray is needed. Often more than one treatment is required.
Prevention: seal cracks and crevices between baseboards, on wood bed frames, floors and walls with caulking. Repair or remove peeling wallpaper, tighten loose light switch covers, and seal any openings where pipes, wires or other utilities come into the home (pay special attention to walls that are shared between apartments).
Furniture removal: Furniture put out from the infested units should be removed as soon as possible, and dismantled so that it is not picked up by someone else.
