The rental suite is empty now, because Suzanne Flynn moved her mom to a care home in April due to health concerns and unacceptable living conditions from a mouse infestation
“I got my own traps; electronic traps. I was up all night, I caught 12 or 13 that night alone, and in total I caught 20 myself,” Flynn told CTV News.
Her parents lived in the Nutana area apartment for more than 10 years. Before her dad died in November, Flynn was living with them as a caregiver experiencing the pest problem firsthand.
“I saw the mouse turn into mice very quickly,” she says.
She called Boardwalk Communities, which runs the building, and they sent someone quickly who brought mouse traps. But Flynn says it wasn’t enough, fearing they were already in the walls. Once she removed her mom’s furniture last month, she saw the magnitude of the issue.
“Now that I cleaned it out I couldn’t believe the amount of poop that was in there and my mom was living in this condition,” she said.
