Bed bugs are a real problem in Toronto, and it’s more common than you might think. Whether you live in a condo downtown, a rental in North York, or a house in Scarborough, these tiny pests can show up anywhere. If you think you might have bed bugs, it’s important to act fast, but also smart.
Here's a simple list of what to do and what to avoid.
1. Bag your laundry right away
Use sealed, clear plastic bags to hold anything soft — clothes, bedding, towels, etc. Don’t mix treated and untreated items. Keep everything separated.
2. Call a professional laundry service
High heat kills bed bugs. But your home dryer may not be enough. We offer professional high-heat laundry treatment across Toronto. We wash, dry, fold, and bag everything safely.
3. Get pickup and delivery
Don’t carry bags of infested laundry on the TTC or through your building. We’ll pick it up and bring it back bed bug free.
4. Store your clean items properly
After treatment, keep everything sealed in clean plastic bags or containers. We also offer 2 months of free storage to give you time to finish treatment at home.
1.Don’t throw your stuff away
You can save most of your soft items with proper heat treatment. No need to replace your wardrobe.
2. Don’t use sprays or bug bombs on clothes
These can stain, damage fabrics, and aren’t effective. Bed bugs hide deep in seams and layers — not just on the surface.
3. Don’t spread the problem
Avoid shaking out clothes or dragging them through clean areas. Bed bugs travel fast.
