Bed bugs have been turning up in many cities around the world, but they seem to have taken a special liking to Toronto, where a report funded by the city and the Ontario health ministry showed 1,500 reports of bed bugs in Toronto over eight months in 2008. In 2003 there were just 43 reports. The pests have turned up in offices and authorities now worry that they will soon spread on public transit and in public gathering places. Many of Toronto’s reports have come from the city’s downtown area. Vancouver also has a bed bug problem, but how large is hard to day. A web site dedicated to tracking bed bug infestations, www.bedbugregistry.com, reported that users in Toronto and Vancouver register the most complaints on the site.
