There has been prior issues here, but the building \'Desperate\' is talking about is not 55 Centre. Desperate even posts their address as Homewood.

And yes, bedbugs can travel through conduits and such making it easy for them to move from unit to unit if there is an outbreak.

The person is saying that the bedbugs will move to another unit, not that they will.

this is untrue, i live on the 23rd floor in this building(55 Centre Ave) and have had no problem at all.
this is a condo building, how could you \"switch units\".. if the above post had bedbug problems why would you buy another unit in the same building then?

I am the original poster and it was not a false alarm.
We have taken measures to prevent them from 'feeding' on us but from what we have read they can live up to a year and a half without feeding and will just move to another unit.
From the run-in with an exterminator in the elevator not long ago it looks like there is still a problem in the building.

I am a condo owner, it was my dream to own my own home. Unfortunately, that dream has turned into a nightmare. Since September 2007 I have been battling with bedbugs. This seems to be one of the worst experiences of my life. Combined with day-to-day activities, battling bed bugs has taken a toll on my nerves and mental health. I now feel that the only solution is to get rid of all my possessions, sell my unit and move. Not an ideal situation for someone that was hoping to retire in 3 years. I find talking with other people about this situation, difficult. Some people have cut me off completely for fear of getting the bed bugs. I am terrified of giving them to someone. I do not feel The Department of Health is taking this situation seriously enough. I believe this issue seriously effects indivduals emotional and physical well-being.

The address of the building is:

40 Homewood Avenue
Toronto ON

This was a false alarm. Turns out it was not bed bugs after all.

Condo attached to the Metropolitan Hotel. Bed bugs are spreading though different units.
