Coming to a Theater Near You: "Attack of The Bedbugs"
      Not a horror movie.  The real thing.
Experts warned Sunday that cushy theater seats pose a far bigger bedbug threat than racks in clothing stores - despite last week's news of bedbug infestations at two Manhattan shops.
    "In a movie theater, you are sitting in one spot for two hours. They have the opportunity to feed on you," said Jennifer Erdogan, director of Bell Environmental Services, a pest control company that fumigates movie theaters, offices and stores.  "Bedbugs need people to stop moving to get a blood meal."  Shoppers are still scratching from reports that bedbugs shut down Hollister in SoHo and its sister store Abercrombie & Fitch in the South Street Seaport.
     To moviegoers, the mere mention of flesh-hungry insects noshing on audiences was worse than any horror film playing Sunday in Manhattan.  Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/07/05/2010-07-

Vancouver Pest Control Company Ordered to Pay $6,000

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. -- On July 7, 2010, NL Poulin Ltd. of Vancouver, BC, was ordered to pay a $6,000 penalty after pleading guilty in North Vancouver Provincial Court to unlawfully possessing live migratory birds, contrary to the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.

Considering the nature of the offence, the judge ordered the pest control company to pay a $1,000 fine as well as $5,000 to the Wildlife Rescue Association of British Columbia. This association provides rehabilitating services for injured, orphaned and pollution-damaged wildlife with the objective of returning healthy animals to their natural habitats without taming or habituating them.

The incident leading to this penalty occurred in July 2009, when a technician from NL Poulin Ltd. was performing work on the roof of a residential apartment building in West Vancouver. A complaint was received from the public after witnesses saw the technician pick up live gull fledglings and place them into a plastic bag.

Environment Canada is responsible for enforcing federal wildlife and environmental laws including the Canada Wildlife Act; the Species at Risk Act; the pollution provisions of the Fisheries Act; the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994; and the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act as well as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. These laws help ensure that companies, government departments and agencies, and the general public comply with legislation and regulations protecting the environment and conserving nature.          Environment Canada

Dogs sniff out bedbugs from G20 delegates’ rooms

When G20 delegates are threatened by Toronto’s bedbug infestation, a call goes out to the experts — scent-trained dogs
Barbara Turnbull Living Reporter .  Toronto Star.

As delegates to next week’s G20 summit check into their Toronto hotel rooms, some should feel safer knowing Michael Goldman’s dogs have already secured the premises. The dogs weren’t sniffing for bombs. They were checking for bedbugs.

Goldman, owner of Purity Pest Control based in Richmond Hill,  trained the world’s first bedbug-sniffing pooch in 2005. He now has three canine experts in his arsenal. All are in demand throughout Southern Ontario, dealing with the growing problem of bedbugs. On June 13, Goldman took inspector dogs Kody and Radar to a downtown on a pre G20 inspection at one downtown hotel, where guests are expected to converge for the summit of world leaders on June 26 and 27.  Read the full Toronto Star story.
