We have wasps, ants, bees and mice to contend with in Calgary, and now you can add bed bugs to the list.
The pests are becoming more prevalent and the population will continue to grow this travels season as more and more people visit hotels and bring the bugs home with them.
Eric Schuster with Able Pest Control tells 660News, the bugs can lay dormant for a year under floor boards. He says the best way to protect you and your family from the pests is to keep your home clean by frequently washing your bed linens, clothes and keeping the floors clean.
He says it could cost thousands of dollars to rid a home of the pests.
