Bed Bug in Tsawwassen Heights.

Tsawwassen Heights' newer townhouse strata complexes and family-detached homes see lower bed-bug activity than older Tsawwassen — but shared-wall transmission, school-age children, and travel-exposure events still produce regular callouts.

Why Tsawwassen Heights

Why bed bug activity is specific to Tsawwassen Heights

Tsawwassen Heights bed-bug activity is the lowest of our Tsawwassen sub-areas. The newer construction has fewer of the architectural-detail bed bug-harbourage zones (deep cracks, aged baseboards, elaborate wainscoting) that older homes provide. Family-detached owner-occupied homes have low rental turnover. Townhouse strata complexes have shared-wall transmission risk, but construction quality (fire-stop detailing, continuous drywall) limits inter-unit movement compared to older complexes. The two main entry pathways: travel exposure (family vacation, returning university student) and school-aged-children scenarios (less common in coastal BC than in dense urban areas, but real). Heat treatment works well in single-family detached and townhouse units alike.
