‘Night, night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite’.
Words from an old Scottish nursery rhyme, uttered by parents at bedtime to soothe their children and prepare them for sleep.
Nursery rhymes by their nature, are works of fantasy and pure fiction, although some have hidden meanings. However, there is nothing imaginary or sleep-inducing about bed bugs.
Bed bugs have been around for centuries, some evidence suggests they date back to Ancient Rome. So, while many people think that they are a problem of the past; they couldn’t be further from the truth. Bed bugs are very much alive and thriving in great numbers across the globe, including here in Canada.
Welcome to Vancouver - the highest bed bug population in BC
BC is a beautiful province, occupied by warm, caring, intelligent people who are welcoming to new arrivals from all around the globe, who want to make it home. Sadly, it appears that bed bugs want a slice of the Vancouver good life too.
So acute is the bed bug issue in Vancouver, Orkin, the international pest control company, conducted a survey in 2021, to determine the top 25 bed bug infested cities in Canada, Vancouver ranked number 3 with neighbouring Burnaby 25th on the list.
How to determine the correct treatment for the problem
It is often the case that owners, renters, landlords and business owners, hire professional pest control companies to conduct vital but expensive termination treatments without receiving the most accurate room reading available, a bed bug sniffer dog.
Some bites can be mistaken as bed bug bites. It’s akin to taking a course of antibiotics to treat a common cold. Antibiotics are great at treating bacterial infections, but not for viral infections. Bed bug treatments are not effective at ridding properties of fleas and mites.
