Cockroach population also on the rise in the city, hitching rides in people's luggage, according to Mike Jaenicke
The pest control expert contracted to eradicate a bedbug infestation at Victoria Towers says the problem is not unique to the 12-storey apartment building.
The building is located at 1245-20th Ave. Recently, several residents spoke to The Citizen about the bedbugs in their homes. “Sometimes the problem we’re having is people aren’t making management aware of their pest problems,” said Jaenicke. He’s had several calls to Victoria Towers over the years and says that building is more vulnerable because it is a low-income housing property where tenants tend to acquire used beds and furniture that are more likely to have bed bugs.
While some exterminators heat the room to rid bedbugs from a building, Jaenicke has had years of success using strictly chemical insecticide control and does not use heat treatment.
