Toronto’s Ryerson University says bedbugs found in one of its classrooms
TORONTO — Bedbugs have been found in a classroom at Toronto’s Ryerson University, the school said Wednesday, noting that it was working to exterminate the insects.
A spokeswoman for the downtown university said staff used a canine unit to search two classrooms in its Victoria Building on Tuesday, and found bedbugs in one of the rooms.
“Bedbugs were found in a single desk in VIC 205,” Johanna VanderMaas said in a statement. “VIC 205 was treated with steam immediately.”
VanderMaas said a canine unit will be brought back into the room on Thursday to ensure it is clear of the bedbugs.
