Bed bug detection dogs are highly trained canines capable of locating bed bugs with remarkable accuracy—even in early infestations and hard-to-reach areas. Using their powerful sense of smell, these dogs can quickly identify live bed bugs and viable eggs hidden in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and wall voids, often with greater speed and precision than visual inspections alone. Our certified detection dog teams provide thorough, efficient inspections for homes, hotels, apartments, offices, and other facilities, offering peace of mind and rapid confirmation of bed bug presence or clearance. This advanced approach enables targeted, effective treatment plans and reduces unnecessary disruption or costs.
Detection Dog Preperation and Expectations
Proper preparation is essential to ensure the detection dog can perform at their best. Clients should vacuum and tidy rooms, remove excess clutter, and avoid using strong cleaning agents, air fresheners, or pesticides in the days leading up to the inspection, as strong odors or chemicals can interfere with the dog’s sense of smell. On the day of the visit, all pets should be secured, and the handler will request access to all rooms and infested areas. The inspection is quick and minimally invasive, with the canine methodically sniffing out bed bugs while the handler notes any alerts for further investigation.

The handler will walk the dog through each room, focusing on beds, sofas, baseboards, and other likely hiding spots. The process is quiet, efficient, and typically completed in under an hour for most homes or hotel rooms. If the dog signals an alert, the handler will investigate further and may recommend visual confirmation or targeted treatment in those areas.

We had a rental house that we found to be literally full of fleas after the tenants moved out. It was so bad that we couldn’t do any of the work that needed to be done. These guys came out promptly, treated the inside and outside and solved our flea problem. I thought the price was very reasonable too.
