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.

Out of their compassion and determination, the Society was ultimately founded. From those humble roots, the Society has blossomed into an organization active in communities across the province.

The Amelia Douglas Institute (ADI) celebrates and uplifts Métis culture in British Columbia through educational exhibitions, programs, and research. The Institute connects Métis people throughout the province with their culture, heritage, and Michif languages through virtual and in-person resources and initiatives and educates the public about Métis people and culture.

The ADI is a registered charitable organization that was developed by Métis Nation of British Columbia’s Ministry of Culture, Heritage and Language in 2023. Ministry staff are currently overseeing the Institute's program delivery and operations until the Institute is further established and has sustainable funding to maintain operations independently.

The ADI’s showroom and exhibition space opened to the public in January 2024 and is located at #300 13401 108 Ave Surrey BC. More information about the ADI, as well as information on Métis culture and language resources can be found on its website: https://ameliadouglasinstitute.ca/
