The Bed Bug Library

Find answers to all your questions.

The Bed Bug Library is our most complete resource for bed bug information, written and curated by Muhammad Akram, a University of Guelph-trained entomologist with over 30 years of hands-on experience in the industry and over 16 years of experience treating bed bug infestations across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

Whether you just found a suspicious bug on your mattress, are dealing with a full infestation, or want to understand your rights as a renter or landlord in Ontario, everything you need is here, organized by topic and written from real field experience by someone who has performed over 3,000 documented treatments in this city.

The library is organized into nine subject areas. Each covers a distinct aspect of bed bug knowledge, from basic identification to Ontario tenant law to the molecular biology of pesticide resistance. Use the navigation below to find what you need.
