ONPHA's Bed Bug Resources

Welcome to the ONPHA bed bug webpage - a centralized resource and information source for ONPHA members that includes information, tools, strategies, and tips and tricks for addressing bed bugs and related challenges in the housing portfolio.

This section will contain information on:

• bed bug characteristics and other general information;
• preventive steps for staff and tenants;
• information on treatment techniques and strategies as well as specifications and pre-screened pest management companies;
• bed bugs at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB);
• frequently asked questions; and
• pest management companies who have signed service agreements with ONPHA.
•  an MPP's private member's proposal for a Bed Bug Disclosure Law
•  additional bed bug resources

ONPHA continues to develop new resources and partnerships to help its members respond quickly, efficiently, and effectively to the difficulties posed by bed bug infestations. The bed bug list-serv offers the ability to share and receive information from other ONPHA members who are dealing with bed bugs for the first or fiftieth time. In contrast, online video resources provide quick and easy information for staff, board members, and tenants. They identify issues for property managers and techniques that can be implemented to prevent the spread of bedbugs, minimizing their impact on tenants.

Educate tenants and staff about bed bugs! ONPHA's bed bug video series is packed with important information on bed bug treatment and awareness. To purchase an ONPHA Bed Bug DVD for staff and tenant education, click here.

ONPHA is committed to providing its members with the information and resources that they need to effectively manage their housing portfolio.  If you cannot find the information you're looking for, or would like to provide feedback or comments on this page, please contact our Management Support Team by email or by telephone at (1 800) 297 - 6660.
