As bed bugs continue to plague the City of Toronto; various City divisions were successful in lobbying the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care with City Council to provide permanent ongoing funding to help the City’s most vulnerable tenants deal with their bed bug issues in rental housing situations. The following presentation gives a comprehensive overview of beds. With a better understanding of their behaviour and habits, you can be successful in getting rid of this nuisance pest. This workshop is of value to everyone who has ever had an encounter with bed bugs. Even if you have never had to deal with bed bugs, we are all at risk of crossing paths with this pest and the more information you have the better equipped you will be to deal with it.
