Bed Bug Extermination Services for Multi-unit Properties in Quebec and Ontario
As a property manager, you know how quickly bed bugs can damage your reputation, resident relationships, and bottom line. In Quebec and Ontario, landlords are legally responsible for eliminating infestations. Delays in addressing the problem and using DIY solutions often make the situation worse, spreading bed bugs to neighbouring units.
Thermapro Solutions helps property managers take control with fast, discreet, and effective bed bug detection and extermination services.
Understanding Your Legal Responsibility as a Property Manager
Because bed bugs can reside in any unit, it can become a legal hassle between property owners and tenants, with finger-pointing both ways. However, like any serious pest control issue, landlords can face damages for bed bugs infestation, under a claim of breach of the warranty of liability.
Tenants are legally entitled to a ‘livable, safe, and sanitary’ residence. Because it is hard to determine how bedbugs entered the property, it is difficult to say the tenant “caused the problem.”
Key risks for property managers include:
- Lawsuits for breach of warranty of habitability
- Damage to your building’s reputation and tenant retention
- Higher extermination costs as infestations spread to multiple units

Did You Know?
In condos, responsibility for extermination depends on the location of the infestation. Infestations in individual units are generally the responsibility of the owner, while those in common areas are the responsibility of the condominium board of directors. If bed bugs spread between units, the origin of the infestation will need to be identified to determine who will pay for extermination services.
