Theres a lot of competition in the Toronto bed bug control market. Bed Bugs and Beyond doesnt take advantage of the hot market. They keep prices fairly low in comparison to other companies offering heat, and offer a 90-day guarantee and a free heat treatment if the bugs do return. So far, weve been bed-bug free since the initial heat treatment!Our experience with Bed Bugs & Beyond was great. The owner, Cary, came and did a free inspection on the same day we contacted him even though he had another job in progress elsewhere. The crew who did the treatment was just as compassionate as Cary. They patiently explained the process and helped us and our two cats get out the door bed-bug free so we wouldnt bring them back with us. This involved blowing hot air on us, our bags, and cat carriers as well as inside my car.Cary did warn us during the inspection that our Ikea furniture would sustain some damage. Indeed, the cheap melamine finishes separated from our dressers. We have been able to super-glue them back down. Our large and expensive Pax wardrobe came through it just fine, though! The only damage to our electronics was to our laser printer, which weve replaced a cost well worth the experience of a good nights sleep If youve got bed bugs, dont waste your money on steam and vacuum treatments (these things you can do yourself!) and be aware of the fact that chemical fumigation cannot penetrate the nooks and crannies in your walls where these sneaky bugs hang out. Heat is the best way.I do recommend cleaning up any of the Diatomaceous Earth powder before heat treatment if youve spread it around. The heat fans will blow it around everywhere. Weeks later and Im still cleaning it up! I also recommend boarding your pets somewhere overnight. Our indoor cats really suffered in the hot house even hours after the treatment. Your house will take 5+ hours to cool off because the walls and floors retain so much heat.A big thanks to Cary and the Bed Bugs and Beyond crew! Although youre all wonderful people, I hope that I never have to contact you again THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Pest Control Toronto - Bed Bugs, Carpenter Ants, Mice and Termite ...

The Toronto Public Library has been battling dozens of incidences of bed bugs in several branches in recent years, according to documents obtained by CTV Toronto.

Documents dating back to 2011 and obtained by CTV show city staff have been tackling the pest problem at branches in the downtown core, Scarborough and the Beaches.

At the Queen Saulter branch, located at Queen St. East near Broadview Ave., the critters have been dealt with seven times since 2011. They were found at public computers, the circulation desk and the book drop.

The entire branch had to be treated in March of 2012 after live bed bugs were found in books.

Documents from October stated: Rentokil found bed bugs in various traps during regular inspections, indicating bed bugs are spreading.

The branch was heat-treated the following month, but more bed bugs were found this year -- in January, May and July.

At the Toronto Reference Library, there have been 15 incidents since 2011. Bed bugs were found under computer chairs, at study carrels and in other places.

Last September at Cedarbrae Library, pest control crews fumigated the carpets. Books had to be thrown out.

Records show an infestation was discovered at the Kennedy Eglinton branch in Scarborough, when staff lifted a carpet and found bed bugs on the underpadding.

Late last year a library user at the Beaches branch reported being bitten twice. Chairs in the branch were treated, but later that same week more creepy crawlers were found.

Exclusive: Bed bugs a persistent problem in several Toronto libraries, documents reveal

CTV Toronto Published Wednesday, June 26, 2013 5:45PM EDT Last Updated Wednesday, June 26, 2013 6:07PM EDT

Fire stations, community centres, even employment offices are among dozens of city buildings that have battled bed bugs in recent years according to documents obtained by CTV Toronto's Natalie Johnson.

The problem is so bad, in fact, that entire buildings have been sprayed, others have been treated on multiple occasions and a pest-control company even urged the city to throw out furniture, in one case.

In an internal memo from a meeting of custodial supervisors in 2011, the city says there is a big problem at various city building locations with bed bugs.

Requests are received daily regarding bed bugs infestation."

At the time, the custodial unit had encountered over 100 request (sic) with bed bug problems.

Many of buildings have had reoccurring issues over the last few years like the Lawrence Square Employment Office, where people go to look for work.

Others infestations are seemingly unlikely like the 11 police stations that had to be sprayed. The records indicate that the bugs were "brought in by a prisoner," in some cases.

An April 2012 email exchange illustrates the concern about bed bugs at police stations.

After finding bed bugs on a child who had been lying on a front reception couch at the Toronto Police Services 31 division, records show that exterminators urged the city to throw away lobby furniture.
