Bed bug outbreak at senior housing building under control
A bed bug issue at a local senior housing building is under control several weeks after the first outbreak.
The Valleyview Towers Two building, owned by the North Battleford Housing Authority (NBHA), was first introduced to a fairly difficult bed bug problem before Christmas.
One of the buildings residents said that one case, believed to have been started on the fifth floor, spread out to affect multiple other suites in the building.
Dianne Baird, executive director of the housing network with the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, which manages the NBHA and owns the building, said there were four cases of initial bed bug treatments at the building in December 2016, and five cases of retreatment.
