Prevalence & Severity of Bed Bugs in Mississauga

Due to Mississauga’s high population density, varied neighborhood types, the number of people traveling in and out of the area due to close proximity to the airport, and mix of residential, retail, restaurant, and office spaces, bed bugs have an easy avenue to be transported into and out of homes and commercial spaces.

The bed bug crisis in the Peel Region became so severe, that Peel Public Health was one of several departments to receive funding of $439,989 from the Ministry of Health to educate residents on bed bugs and how to handle them after a dramatic rise in incidents reported.

Mississauga Bed Bugs by Housing & Building Types

It’s fairly common to run into a bed bug problem in a variety of housing and building types including commercial businesses such as hotels or vacation rentals, or in group residences, houses, condos, and apartments. In recent years, there was even an outbreak of over 31 cases of bedbugs found in government federal buildings.

Apartments or multi-unit housing have a far more likely occurrence of bed bugs simply due to the fact that there are many more rooms and spaces involved. Especially when it comes to the inspection. According to Statistics Canada, nearly 30% of the Mississauga population live in rented households, and almost the same percent live in apartments where bud begs are more likely. Mississauga is also home to over 700,000 individuals which also contributes to the likelihood of bed bug infestations in such a densely populated area.

No matter what type of house or building you live in, the key to solving a bed bug problem is to take action as quickly as possible in order to completely eliminate bed bugs and their eggs from your space, otherwise, they can persist or even spread.

We offer 24/7 emergency services to our clients who run into these issues and we guarantee our work, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your home or business is bed bug-free.

Landlord Tenant Laws on Bed Bug Infestations in Mississauga

In situations involving rentals, it's not uncommon for some landlords to try to make tenants bear the cost of treating bed bug infestations - often because they believe the tenant is responsible for the issue. However, in Mississauga and throughout Ontario, this practice is not allowed.

The Landlord Tenant Board stipulates under Section 20 of the Residential Tenancies Act that landlords are required to handle bed bug infestations as they are considered a matter of maintenance. If a landlord neglects this duty, tenants have the right to file a complaint with the Landlord Tenant Board using the Tenant Application About Maintenance (Form T6). There are some exceptions where the tenant is found to willfully or negligently cause undue damage to the rental unit.

When Can A Landlord Inspect Your Living Areas?

Landlords possess the right to access rental units for the purposes of conducting inspections and performing maintenance. It is required that tenants be notified in writing at least 24 hours before such entry. Since treating a bed bug infestation in an apartment is not deemed an emergency, landlords are obliged to give tenants proper advance notice, allowing them adequate time to prepare their unit suitably before any pesticide treatment is applied.

Tenants also bear some responsibilities in these situations. They must cooperate with the landlord to effectively eliminate bed bugs. This involves allowing access to their living spaces, adhering to instructions for preparing the area for treatment, such as removing items from shelves, rearranging furniture, laundering bedding and clothes, and generally aiding the extermination process without hindering it.

Bed Bug Pesticide Use Regulation & Laws in Mississauga

In Mississauga and throughout Canada, Health Canada oversees the regulation of pesticides, ensuring they adhere to stringent health, environmental, and safety standards.

Pesticides without registration are prohibited in Canada, as their safety and efficacy haven't been evaluated by Health Canada. Moreover, it's unlawful for landlords to use pesticides in residences as per the Pesticides Act. To verify if a pesticide is approved for use in Canada, look for a Pest Control Products (PCP) registration number on the label. If this number is missing, it's advisable not to purchase or use the product.

We at Addison Pest Control prioritize using only pesticides approved by Health Canada to ensure the well-being of you and your family. For safeguarding your health and safety, consider reaching out to a reliable, expert bed bug exterminator in Mississauga by contacting Addison Pest Control.

The climate on Beg Bug Infestations in Mississauga

Bed bugs are a year-round issue, contributing to their widespread problem across North America. While bed bugs will “hibernate” during the winter months, they often bury themselves in bedding, carpets, or anywhere they can find shelter until they can come back out again. While you should always treat bed bugs in any season, it’s crucial to understand the local weather conditions to be better prepared.

For example, in Mississauga, while summers can be warm, they are often short and followed by long winters. The temperature typically ranges between -8 °C to 26 °C but has been known to fluctuate to the extremes.

For effective management of this issue, consider reaching out to the professional team at Addison Pest Control for an inspection.
