How to Get Rid Of Bed Bugs | Edmonton Apartment Association

The Edmonton Apartment Association (EAA) is working closely with the Edmonton Bed Bug Stakeholder Committee, Alberta Health and EAA members to monitor and better understand the recent resurgence of bed bugs in Edmonton and throughout North America.

EAA is aware that many Edmonton Apartment Association members are experiencing infestations of bed bugs as they spread throughout the City of Edmonton, including but limited to office and commercial space, hotels, hospitals, public areas, shelters, housing, etc.

EAA recognizes that bed bugs are not associated with unsanitary living conditions in rental properties but rather are primarily spread as a result of:

EAA is of the view that education is key in addressing the problem of bed bugs. EAA continues to encourage its members to educate themselves and their residents on bed bug recognition, prevention and elimination.

EAA believes that prevention and elimination of bed bugs is a cohesive partnership among EAA members, residents and all levels of government. EAA members should therefore encourage non-punitive reporting of infestations and joint cooperation in any treatment process to ensure effective results.

EAA wishes to see members and their residents comply with treatment recommendations and protocol to prevent and eliminate bed bugs by including regular suite monitoring for bed bugs and initiating professional pest control treatment to eliminate bed bug populations.

EAA is working to ensure that our members have access to the latest information on effective bed bug control treatments, tools and procedures through closely monitoring research as it becomes available, participating in bed bug information sharing initiatives and educating our membership through seminars, symposiums, handout materials, website and articles in the EAA Rental Gazette Newsletters.

BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN CONTROL THE SPREAD OF BED BUGS!
