Bed bug control
Toronto Has One of Canada's Highest Bed Bug Rates
Toronto consistently ranks among Canadian cities with the highest bed bug activity. The city’s dense population, busy transit network, high tourism volume, and large rental housing market all create constant opportunities for bed bug introduction and spread.
A single bed bug can lay up to 5 eggs per day and up to 500 in a lifetime. An infestation can grow from a handful of bugs to thousands within 2–3 months if untreated. Acting quickly and using professional treatment — not store-bought sprays — is the only effective response.
Pestisect provides professional bed bug extermination across all Toronto neighbourhoods with treatment protocols designed to eliminate the infestation in one or two visits.

Bed Bugs in Toronto Condos and Apartments
In multi-unit buildings, a bed bug infestation in one unit almost always requires inspection and often treatment of adjacent units — the units directly above, below, and beside the reported unit. Bed bugs spread through shared walls via electrical conduits and gaps around plumbing.
If you manage a condo or apartment building in Toronto, contact us to discuss our property management pest control protocols.
