SASKATOON – The Chatsis family household is tackling with a bed bug infestation for the second time in Saskatoon’s Meadowgreen neighbourhood.
“It’s made things difficult because you’re always worrying about whether you’re going to be bitten in the middle of the night,” said Angela Chatsis.
She has recently seen this problem before in the apartment, but this time, she is trying to fight back by laying down a toxic substance known as bed bug powder in every doorway.

“So we wouldn’t have to necessarily treat every suite… but inspecting and finding out which are the problem suites and giving the proper information to each tenant so it doesn’t spread or continue,” says extermination company owner David Wilson.
One of the biggest issues when it comes to dealing with bed bugs it that the insects can go up to a year without feeding and that can be costly.
Chatsis says she has yet to get any help from her landlord.
The property manger of her building was unavailable for comment.
