Fighting Bed Bugs in Apartments: Without Poisoning Neighbors

Bed bugs in your Montreal apartment? Shared walls make it tricky—don’t turn your Rive-Nord or South Shore neighbors into collateral damage. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation spike (40x since 2005) hits apartments hard. Use these safe, chemical-free tactics to fight back.

Neighbor-Friendly Methods

• Vacuum Power: Sucks 90% adults/eggs—use crevice tool on seams, empty bag outside.
• Steam Heat: 100°C+ steam kills on contact—safe for walls, furniture.
• Seal Cracks: Caulk gaps to block spread.
• Encasements: Trap bugs in mattress/box spring covers.
• Interceptors: Monitor with traps under legs.

Apartment Action Plan

1. Notify Landlord: Quebec law demands action within 10 days—alert OMH for HLMs.
2. Vacuum Daily: Hit your unit’s hot spots.
3. Steam Walls: Coordinate with neighbors for shared walls.
4. Seal & Monitor: Use encasements, traps—prevent cross-unit jump.
