Here's an interesting story:
On Sept.27/10, I had prepared my unit in anticipation of the arrival of the Manitoba Housing pest control officers,as per the notice received the previous week. I had picked up and carefully examined the 2 undated monitor traps and as always,they were both clean,so I put them up on a table.
The bug crew arrived as advertised. A black fellow with a West Indies accent,who apparently was the boss, came in and we discussed my concern about proceeding with treatments wi

The "precautionary treatment" of my unit is getting to the stage of personal harassment! It was treated less than a month ago and now another notice of entry has been issued for that purpose.
For about two years now, there hasn't been any indication of infestation in or near my unit and the traps are not even monitored by anyone.
The Residential Tenancies Act mandates entry to a unit only in case of an emergency. This tenant has not been advised of any emergency in this regard.

Well, I do live here. To be honest, there has been monitoring of bedbugs, and spraying of certain aparments and common areas. It has been approx. 2 years that they have been watching and fighting it. Thay seem to have stayed in the 2 or 3 apartments for quite sometime now. Touch wood. May I not speak too soon. But overall yes they are here, and no they arent spreading like wildfire. I have yet to see one.

Well apparently there are bedbugs here although I've never seen any. Manitoba Housing has been monitoring and treating selected apartments for about a year now. They don't even inspect the monitor traps any more, but go right to the treatment stage spraying hazardous chemicals all over.
I'm getting sick and tired of Manitoba Housing's cavalier approach to this supposed 'infestation' and the complete lack of information that they provide to their tenants.
