Pest News:

Canada May Be Worst Country for Bed Bugs.

A membership survey conducted by the National Pest Management Association in Fairfax, Va. .found that 98 percent of the association's Canadian. members reported treating a bedbug infestation in the last year

Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the association said 95 percent of the US. members had dealt with bedbugs in the past year and in Europe, 92 percent had dealt with an infestationIn 2000, only 25 percent of members had dealt with bedbugs, she said. "The bedbug issue really is of pandemic proportions. It's not isolated to any state or any city or even any country.


  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


EPA Creates New Bed Bug Web site in an effort to reduce the problem.  Bed bugs are a growing problem in many areas of the United States. EPA's new bed bug Web page provides information on chemical and integrated pest management techniques for managing bed bugs, current research efforts, links to educational materials developed by reputable sources, and other information that will be helpful for the public suffering from bed bugs and professionals on the front lines of this battle. To visit the new page on bed bugs, go to http://epa.gov/pesticides/controlling/bedbugs.html.


 

This 2006 photograph depicts a bed bug nymph, Cimex lectularius, as it was in the process of ingesting a blood meal from the arm of a 'voluntary' human host. (CDC / Harvard University, Dr. Gary Alpert; Dr. Harold Harlan; Richard Pollack)

How Safe Are The Pesticides Available in Canada?
Pesticides are regulated by Health Canada under the Pest Control Products Act, and are among the most stringently regulated substances in Canada. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency is the branch of Health Canada that administers the Act on behalf of the Minister of Health.

Bat Killing Disease Spreads into Canada

WNS Keeps Spreading
For three years now, the end of winter has brought tragic reports that White-nose Syndrome has spread into more caves and more states that had previously been untouched by this devastating killer of bats. Sadly, this year is no different. The most recent surveys of bat-hibernation sites confirm that the disease has moved northward into Canada, south into Maryland and has now spread some 400 miles (645 kilometers) westward into and across Tennessee. Eleven U.S. states and the...more

Did you know it's against the law...

- to use pesticides to control any pest that is not listed on the label.

- to use pesticides in a manner that is not in compliance with directions on the label.

This is one of many questions posted on the "What is this pest" page

1513  This bug was found in Rosedale, Chilliwack, BC.  Angela..
This is a giant water bug (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae), a.k.a. toe biter or electric light bug. They are voracious predators on aquatic invertebrates as well as the occasional tadpole or small fish, and can deliver quite a painful ‘bite’ if mishandled. See nos. 1498, 1457, and 1378 for other examples. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
