Why bed bug pressure is specific to Beach Grove
Beach Grove bed-bug pressure is dominated by travel-exposure and vacation-rental turnover. BC Ferries terminal proximity (4 km south) produces continuous traveller flow; vacation rentals see continuous guest turnover bringing potential exposure from origin homes worldwide. Cottage construction (1960s-70s small-format with mattress-and-box-spring-on-floor configurations, multiple soft-furnishing pieces) provides bed-bug habitat. The vacation-rental owner's recurring nightmare is mid-stay guest discovery — bites, blood spots, panicked check-out, demanded refund, public review damage. Heat treatment is the protocol of choice for Beach Grove vacation rentals because it requires no follow-up and turns the unit around within 24 hours, allowing same-week re-rental.
