Tenants of a building located in Barton Street East complained of the bad conditions of their building, which includes rodents, bedbugs, and cockroaches, and they have even protested against the building owners, Malleum Partners. The pest and bug issues, combined with toilets and fridges that don’t work, windows that don’t close, and stoves and fridges that aren’t working have made the building less than ideal to live in. Malleum Partners, on the other hand, says the concerns of the tenants are a result of poor management by previous owners, and that they are working as diligently and quickly as they can to improve the conditions of the building. Pest and bug issues are common issues present in many houses and commercial spaces. Make sure you contact professional exterminators in Canada as soon as you notice, before it gets worse.

Bed bugs can cause more than just bites. Bed bug infestations have caused physical, emotional and financial setbacks to victims. The recent story of how a mother and babysitter sustained 117 bedbug bites while staying at a Calgary based hotel is a case in point. Although she and her friend had been staying at the same Inn for the past two years without facing any bed bug problem, this year has been a nightmare. After she noticed multiple red welts on her body, a complaint to Alberta Health Services resulted in a professional bed bug exterminator being called to the facility. Apart from the constant itching, burning and scars in multiple places on her body, she also had to deal with the financial consequences of bed bug bites. Many families pulled out of her babysitting services fearing infestation while her clothes were damaged due to high-temperature washing.

Bed bugs are a worldwide problem but hotels seem to be bearing the brunt of the menace. The news of Sabrina Jales St. Pierre, the Brazilian model being subject to “massacre” by bed bugs at a California based hotel had grabbed headlines. As per a recent study, $6,383 is the amount hotels spend on each incident related to bed bugs. These costs are related to professional bed bug extermination, replacement of goods, and business losses. The study showed each bed bug related outbreak resulted in 50 room night occupancy being lost. But the costs are much more than this when the litigation costs are added. Hotels spend close to $23,000 for each bed bug related litigation as per this study. Given that each hotel deals with 7.1 bedbug litigations on an average over a time frame of five years, the costs go up to $160,000.
