dont live in Toronto, but all you have to do is vacuum real real good, then empty out your vacuum bag or cup… also you can get an insecticide spray like the kind they make for headlice….but i don’t think that is necessary at all, and might cause more harm than good. A good vacumming should be sufficient.
I had one fumigation treatment, and when I still found fresh bites on my body I decided to wrap my mattresses in two layers of plastic paint dropcloths (from the hardware store), sealing the wrapping with green painter’s tape. I haven’t had a bite since, one year later!
Because those suckers have a really long lifetime and can reproduce a lot, the challenge is starving them for about nine months, which means not letting them bite anyone. Since they primarily bite people at night, they’re probably finding you in bed, which is why trapping their bed population under plastic works so nicely. I used dropcloths because the plastic is really soft – I didn’t want to hear any crinkling while rolling around on my bed – but you could use anything that can securely wrap the mattresses.
If you’ve already wrapped your mattresses, washed and dried all your clothes and bedding in hot water and a hot dryer (it’s the heat that kills them, not the water, so you can just use a dryer really) and vaccuumed like crazy and you’re *still* experiencing those nasty pests, I’d move! That, or try different bed bug pest professionals – someone who will turn every piece of furniture on end finding and fumigating those awful insects.
Good luck!!!
I hired a company called Heat-n-go. They got rid of them with one simple treatment. They used heat. with-in 8 hours my house was bedbug free!! I highly recommend them!
