Bed Bug Dog Detection Services

Bed bugs are for the dogs – literally.

Bed Bugs Can’t Hide from This Nose

The most expensive pest problem is often the one you don’t see coming – but really, it’s the one you let get out of hand. Bed bugs can find the tiniest of crevices to hide in, making them difficult to detect with the naked eye. Fortunately, their aggregate pheromone odors can’t hide from expert noses like the one on our bed bug sniffing dog. That’s because he is trained daily using live bed bug scent and is even trained and evaluated with more frequency than the national scent detection standards!

Proactive K9 detection helps identify a problem early enough to help protect your people, property, reputation – and your bottom line. The Waltham pups receive 600 hours of training before entering into the field, and our handlers have extensive field experience working with and managing canine behavior under real-life working conditions and in many different environments. They’re trained daily using live bed bug scent and are even trained and evaluated with more frequency than the national scent detection standards. This training allows them to be 98% (the highest level validated) accurate at sniffing out just one bed bug – and even just one bed bug egg.

The Waltham Canine Bed Bug Detection Service can be a proactive solution or at the very least, the way to stay in front of an infestation. The training never ends for this pup, either. Continuous training throughout the year ensures that we can help you save money and uphold your reputation as being bed bug-free. Need more reasons why you need Waltham Canine Bed Bug Detection Services? Here are five.

Our Expert Technician + Waltham Dog = an unbeatable team!
The nose on our bed bug sniffing dog can detect an introduction much quicker and earlier than the human eye. Dogs have about 45 times more smell receptors than humans. This superior sense of smell makes them the best experts in bed bug detection. From the chart, you can see just how fast a mere introduction can turn into an extreme infestation. You can also see the small number of bed bugs that are needed for our dog’s nose to sniff them out.

Dealing with bed bugs upstream like this can save money and time. Routine service from our bed bug sniffing dog and his handler can spot introductions early enough to save them from becoming an infestation so you can have treatments done quickly and get in front of negative reviews. Working canines have a long, trusted history, with their powerful sense of smell used by federal, provincial, and local agencies for search and rescue, drug detection, and bomb detection. If they can be trusted to find a bomb, they can be trusted to find your bed bugs!
