Bed Bugs in Calgary
The local city government is aware that many Calgaryions are experiencing infestations of bed bugs as they spread throughout the
City of Calgary, including but limited to office and commercial space, hotels, hospitals, public areas, shelters, housing, etc.
Bed bugs are not associated with unsanitary living conditions in rental properties but rather are primarily spread as a result of:
- Travel resulting in bed bugs unknowingly being brought into the rental premises in Calgary;
- Resident and guest movement between rental properties within Calgary;
- Non-reporting of infestations by residents resulting in the pests spreading to adjoining rental suites;
- Non-compliance of residents with suite preparation for pest control treatment; and
- Reuse of discarded furniture and mattresses.
