It is often difficult to get rid of bed bugs in a house since they are small insects. They are reddish brown in color and measure between 0.16 and 0.20 inches long. Human blood is their main source of food, so they are usually found in crowded places. The bites of these insects do not cause health problems, but they can cause economic loss. They can also lead to psychological problems such as sleep disorders, anxiety, or stress. Bedbugs are a common problem in Vancouver. They infest, bite, and create psychological problems for the residents. You can usually find them at train stations or in hotel rooms. We at ASM Pest Control have effective ways to make sure that they are completely eliminated from your homes. ASM Pest Control has a team of bed bug control experts who holds years of experience in bed bug removal & extermination in the Lower Mainland. We know how to deal with these pesky insects who love to hide in the not so reachable corners of your home.

ASK provides adult day programming, social connection, meals, and supportive services that promote independence, dignity, and well-being for seniors—particularly those experiencing isolation, cognitive change, or complex health needs. Programs are designed to be culturally responsive, accessible, and rooted in strong relationships with participants, caregivers, volunteers, and community partners.

ARIA Society is committed to serving the Iranian and Farsi-speaking immigrants, refugees, and women in our community. Through settlement assistance, language support, and cultural orientation, we aim to help newcomers understand their rights, access Canadian institutions, and establish themselves in a country they will one day call home. We also offer programming specifically for Iranian and Farsi-speaking women, designed to address the stark realities many have faced: sexual violence, domestic abuse, human rights violations, and systemic barriers to advancement in certain academic and professional domains. The need within the Iranian diaspora runs deep, but the response to it has so far been shallow. We are working hard to change that.
