Do you still have a problem with bedbugs and, if so, would you be willing to do an interview with me about it? Hi Mathieu,

I’m a reporter with CTV Television and I’m working on a series about infestations in our homes of various bugs like bedbugs. Do you still have a problem with bedbugs and, if so, would you be willing to do an interview with me about it?

I am currently living in the Bayview apt and have had serious bed bug infestations for over 2 months now. My landlord has now sent exterminators twice and both my roomate and I are waking up covered in bites. Everytime I complain they simply tell me they will send them again. Also it should be noted that they are fully aware 5 other units are infested with bed bugs and I have heard many complaints of cockraoches, fire ants and silverfish. Minto has failed to do anything substanstial about this. As a result I have now had to dispose of my matress ($500+ value just purchased not even 1 year ago). For a student living off a student loan this is a major expense and Minto has refused to offer any sort of compensation. Bed bugs are a serious problem in all of the Bayshore area of ottawa.

The proliferation of secondary infestations from untreated or incorrectly treated primary infestations has to be a major factor in the spread. And lack of awareness! But I hope at least <a href="http://bedbugger.com/2008/01/10/the-bedbug-bandit/" rel="nofollow">The Bedbug Bandit</a> has done his part in <em>spreading the word, not the bug</em>. ;) That is indeed refreshing.
