Need Help With Bed Bugs? Recently, I provided the Province of Ontario a List of 20 Recommendations and Strategies, arising from the Bed Bug Summit at Queen’s Park, which I hosted on to help Combat, Control and Contain Bed Bug Infestations in our Communities and across Ontario. As a result of these recommendations, the Province has launched a website where residents and organizations can access important facts and information about Bed Bugs. If you need information or have questions about Bed Bugs, visit www.bedbugsinfo.ca or contact Toronto Public Health at 416-338-7600.
