Bedbugs be gone: G20 preparations now extend to insect world

Bedbugs: the enemy within (Image: Oldmaison)

Since the feds certainly haven’t skimped on security spending for the G8 and G20 summits, we’re hoping that officials have the major bases (terrorists, anarchists, violent protesters) covered. Step two is dealing with some awkward, less dangerous problems. And for at least one Toronto hotel, that means bedbugs.

The Star reports that a major Toronto hotel (that would prefer to remain unnamed, natch) has gone proactive by hiring the services of specially trained dogs that detect bedbugs with greater efficiency and accuracy than human inspectors. Delegates can rest assured that one Toronto annoyance is being taken care of (well, at this one hotel). Now all we need is a magic wand for some of Toronto’s other embarrassing problems: rats, raccoons, bald raccoons, homelessness, smog, listeria, gridlock and Rob Ford.

Then again, if the government really cared about keeping the summits pest-free, many of the leaders would not have been invited. It probably couldn’t have hurt, either, to reconsider inviting world leaders to Huntsville in the middle of bug season.

Bedbug infestation found at Toronto Canada hospital

Adrian Morrow

A small outbreak of bedbugs has hit a hospital in suburban Toronto and officials say they are fighting it back vigorously.

The tiny critters first surfaced at Etobicoke General Hospital, in the northwest region of the city, late last week when a staff member complained of a bite.

Hospital managers called in Toronto Public Health, which sent sniffer dogs on Monday to find where the insects were living.

Live bedbugs were found in a staff lounge, while dead bugs and eggs were discovered nearby in the emergency room.

The lounge has been closed off since then, and liquid insecticide was sprayed. The ER is still open.

“We’ve kept it closed longer than we have to, just to be safe,” said Dawne Barbieri, a hospital executive. “We’re safe, we’re open for business.”

She said only a couple of staff members have complained of bites and no patients have reported any.

Since Monday, the dogs haven’t found any more of the live blood-suckers.

In her seven years at the hospital, Ms. Barbieri said this is the first confirmed case of bedbugs she’s heard of.

The city has, however, been getting increasingly numerous reports of the creatures over the last two years.

The bugs are very small – about the size of a lentil – multiply quickly and can spread easily. They hide in anything from bedding to suitcases and come out at night to feast on blood.
