How to identify it

Flat, reddish-brown, apple-seed sized insects hiding in mattress seams, headboards and baseboards.

Signs of an infestation

  • Rows of itchy bites on arms, shoulders or legs
  • Small rust-coloured blood spots on sheets
  • Dark ink-dot fecal staining on seams and box springs
  • Shed skins or eggs in mattress piping

Is it dangerous?

Bed bugs don't transmit disease, but bites, sleep loss and the cost of failed treatment are serious.

Can I handle this myself?

DIY is not recommended

DIY attempts routinely spread bed bugs to other rooms and delay real treatment by weeks.

When to call a professional

Call a professional as soon as bed bugs are suspected — confirmation matters before treatment.

Any pesticide used in Canada must be registered here and applied exactly as its label directs. We don't publish application instructions.

Typical professional treatment

Inspection and confirmation, then either whole-room heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical protocol with encasements and monitors.

Visits: Heat: 1 treatment. Chemical: 2–3 visits over 4–6 weeks

How to keep them from coming back

  • Inspect hotel beds and luggage racks when travelling
  • Use zippered mattress encasements
  • Be cautious with second-hand furniture
  • Report quickly in multi-unit buildings
