A good portions of our orders come from Manitoba. This below article is republished from the Winnipeg Free Press (fun fact - Natalie from Canada-Bedbug.coms great-grandfather was the editor of the Winnipeg Free Press many, many years ago).
The province will unveil its $770,000 battle plan against bedbugs today to enlist Manitobans of every stripe to get the upper hand on the pests that have infested many homes and businesses across the province.
The government will institute a bedbug website and hotline and put together a coalition of municipalities, health authorities and business groups to come up with a common solution to get rid of bedbugs.
However, the plan does not include mandatory public reporting of places that have bedbugs, which had been requested by paramedics and other professionals who must enter a large number of homes and buildings.
MP Pat Martin, who battled a bedbug infestation at his Winnipeg Centre constituency office, said Wednesday night the Selinger governments strategy wont work without a mandatory registry.
People have a right to know if there is a risk of contact with these nightmare parasites, whether you are a potential renter, a tradesman or a first responder attending an emergency, he said.
More details of the provinces bedbug strategy will be outlined by Healthy Living, Youth and Seniors Minister Jim Rondeau at a bedbug symposium at Assiniboine College in Brandon.
The money is for the first year of the bedbug blitz, as its acknowledged bedbugs wont go out without a fight.
Bedbugs can cause a great deal of stress and financial hardship for those affected, Rondeau said in a prepared statement obtained by the Free Press. They are not exclusive to any one area or group of people. Everyone in our communities will have a role to play in finding affordable solutions.
The bedbug fight comes as multiple levels of government in Canada and the United States look for the best way to fight the parasites, regarded as rare in North America as recently as a decade ago, but now a daily occurrence.
