Confirm what you have seen
Keep a clear photograph of the insect or signs if you can do so without moving belongings. Bites alone cannot identify bed bugs. A precise description is more useful than an assumed diagnosis.
Inform the building manager
Montréal public health guidance advises promptly informing the landlord. Identify affected rooms and agree on how access will be coordinated. Avoid moving furniture into shared areas.
Wait for appropriate instructions
Preparation should match the selected intervention. Ask for an instruction list, what to do before the visit and directions for returning to the space. Mention occupants’ particular needs in the first conversation.
