Hi,

I am moving to Toronto from USA on Canadian Work Permit. My Movers are saying that my mattress needs to be fumigated before they take it to Canada. I am bit doubtful whether it would be safe to sleep on it after that.

Also, they are saying that it will cost another $400-500 to fumigate the mattress.

Is it true? What is logic behind just fumigating mattress. I am bringing my sofa too.

Thanks
Jagat

500 bucks for mattress fumigation? Sounds like a rip-off. I'm sure you can buy a new mattress in the same range (unless you want a very expensive one).

Not sure if this is a customs requirement, it wasn't when I moved. Maybe someone else with knowledge on this can comment.
