We Clean Bed Bugs, Canada

Society By Jonathan Constante, Tue, February 24, 2015

A Canadian mom was trying to kill bed bugs by fumigating her apartment with a chemical she brought from Pakistan. Instead, she killed her 8-month-old baby and left her other four children in critical condition, the NY Daily News reports.

The mother was using anagricultural pesticideto get rid of the bed bug infestation in the familys Fort McMurray, Alberta, apartment.

The substance, which is strictly controlled in Canada and requires special training to use, releases phosphine gas when exposed to air. The gas is not only colorless and odorless but also extremely toxic, the Daily Mail reports.

After just a few hours of fumigation, all five children in the home showed signs of serious illness.

According to the firefighters, a reading of 1 part per million can be hazardous, and it only takes 15 minutes to reach that level. The reading in the bedroom was at a staggering 4 parts per million. The substance becomes immediately lethal at 5.

There was significant exposure, one emergency worker said.

All five children were vomiting, but they were not taken to the hospital until the next morning.

The mothers 8-month-old baby died at the hospital on Sunday. The other four, aged between 2 and 7 years, remain in critical condition.

Wood Buffalo RCMP Cpl. George Cameron said that the incident appears to be an accidental poisoning. The mothers sister, Shazia Yarkhan, also stated that it was an accident.

Mother Accidentally Kills Her Baby Using Pesticide To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs

The federal government is warning Canadians of what it calls the extreme danger of using unregistered products to fight bedbugs.

The Health Canada warning comes after two children from northern Alberta died from a toxic insecticide thought to be aluminum phosphide brought back by the family from Pakistan.

Health Minister Rona Ambrose expressed her condolences to the family, who was attending the funeral of son Zia, 2 on Friday. His eight-month-old sister died Sunday.

Its a really tragic situation and this is a product that in terms of how its regulated, is not supposed to be used in homes ever, Ambrose said in Calgary.

Its a very dangerous pesticide and it needs to be used by people who are trained to use it.

Health Canada said aluminum phosphide is highly toxic to people and animals.

The department said it can only be sold to people with special training and is not approved for use on bedbugs.

It is not clear how the family managed to bring the pesticide into Canada.

Health Canada says people can legally import small amounts of chemical pest control products not registered in Canada for their personal use, but the rules are aimed at products such as insect repellent.

Health Canada warns about bedbug products after 2 Alberta children die

An eight-month-old baby is dead and four other children are in hospital after their mother used a fumigant to get rid of bed bugs in their Fort McMurray, Alta., apartment.

Shazia Yarkhan told CTV Edmonton that her sister was trying to kill bed bugs with a chemical brought from Pakistan, where the family had recently vacationed.

She just wanted to kill bugs, and she just put some medicine over there in (the) apartment because she complained to the apartment caretaker and she didn't respond to anything, Yarkhan said.

Police have not confirmed what type of substance was used, but sources told CTV News that it was phosphine, a dangerous agricultural pesticide that attacks the central nervous system. Phosphine is tightly regulated in Canada and a special licence is required to use it. The chemical is most often used by farmers on their crops.

Wood Buffalo RCMP Cpl. George Cameron said investigators are treating the Fort McMurray poisonings as accidental.

RCMP responded to a call for a reported chemical spill at 81 Fraser Ave. in Fort McMurray around 3 p.m. on Sunday. Although officers found that the spill was contained to one unit, they evacuated the entire building.

RCMP announced Monday that an eight-month-old baby died in hospital. Two of its siblings, aged two and six, were rushed by air ambulance to Stollery Childrens hospital in Edmonton. Two other siblings, a 4-year-old and a seven-year-old, were taken to Northern Lights Regional Health Centre hospital in Fort McMurray, police said.

All four children are in critical condition. Their mother is under observation in hospital in Fort McMurray, while their father is with the two children who were taken to Edmonton.

Police have not confirmed the gender of any of the children. No names have been released.

Bed bug fumigant likely to blame in Alberta baby's death

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

ARLA is aware that many Alberta Residential Landlord 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.

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

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

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

ARLA 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.

ARLA 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 ARLA Rental Gazette Newsletters.

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