No one likes bed bugs and we should be on the lookout for them But a news story inspired by Abell Pest Control’s Mike Heimbach has a slight feeling of deja vu. It was about this time last year that Mr. Heimbach and the folks at Abell Pest asserted that there was a looming rat infestation downtown because construction at Union Station had displaced the rodents. The only thing was, no one could find the rats. The Star hunted diligently. There aren’t many things The Toronto Star can’t find. But the rats were never located. This year City News has recounted the ordeal of a woman who lives on San Romano Way. “Her tormentors are tiny. But their effect has been gargantuan,” says City News. And it points to a “yet-to-be released report by Compas research on behalf of Abell Pest Control” which finds that 70 per cent of Ontario’s public health inspectors felt bed bug reports were up in their area. “We thought it would be on the decrease, but it’s actually on the rise,” Abell’s Mike Heimbach told City News. Well, as we said, bedbugs are the enemy for sure but the City’s Health Department seems to think things are not out of control. It sounds like the apartment where this lady lives is poorly managed. In researching this post we came across a Texas pest control firm called Assassin Exterminating. Its motto is Always Hire A Professional.
