Swan River’s Rainbow Lodge, a seniors’ housing complex, is battling an infestation of bed bugs, but the problem has been ongoing for years.
Spraying to get rid of the insects is to take place today, but residents have to leave the building completely, forcing residents to take their belongings and clean everything.
A spokesperson for Manitoba Housing reported to the media, that 590 treatments have been done for bedbugs in the building since 2014.
Families would like to see the entire building treated for issue, however Manitoba Housing won't because not all the units have bedbug activity, but will offer to refer seniors and their family a ‘bug and scrub’ program.
