I'm a health care aide i have a client that lives at 260 Nassau Street, i first noticed she had a bed bug on her pillow, we put the bug in a small glass jar and closed the lid, i went back to check the bed for more, i didn't find more, but i found the casing, i guess it was shedding and i found the casing. My client has called manitoba housing to have somebody come down and spary the apartment and that has been 2 weeks ago and nobody has come to inspect or spary her apartment. What is going on with this Manitoba Housing do they not care, it's not their house, so they don't have to worry about this problem, it is easly sweeped under the rug. Yes the people that live in Manitoba Housing are poor or have low income, but they are people and they have rights too. I'm a writing a letter to Manitoba Housing, Health Department, and other various place to raise awareness on this situation, and hopefully i can help with this cause, this should not be happening. I'm only a health care aide that takes care of my client, and washing sheets and blankets, clothing, because of bed bugs, is not my job!! Something has to be done about this situation and fast.

Apartment 702

Moved in just a little over a week ago, started seeing bedbugs in the bathroom almost immediately after. Knew that the building had an infestation but was informed that this suite was clear. Seen an average of 2-3 per day, most in the bathroom, some on my couch which is on the opposite side of the suite. Been bitten on my back and leg while sitting on the couch, during the day time. None on the bed, but it was isolated from the day I moved in anyway.

Dusted the whole apartment, including crevices, exposed pipes leading into the wall, light switches, furniture, baseboards and my bed. Informed the management and am waiting for a treatment date.
