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.
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.
Vacuum and clean floors, but avoid using strong cleaning products, deodorizers, or pesticides for at least 24–48 hours before the inspection. Remove excess clutter from floors, beds, and furniture to ensure the dog has access to all areas, and secure all pets (including other dogs) away from the inspection zone. Inform the team of any recent treatments or strong odors present in the propert
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.
Review the results and recommendations provided by the handler. If bed bugs are detected, discuss targeted treatment options, preparation steps, and follow-up plans. If no bed bugs are found, you gain peace of mind and may receive tips for prevention and monitoring. Keep documentation for future reference or proof of inspection.
They showed up for the appointment time and were very professional.
From the first phone call, to the inspection, to the service – everyone was on time, friendly, answered all of our questions and were very professional.
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.
I called about my problem. They came out and inspected an gave me an option for eradication for my situation. I considered it a fair price compared to other companies. They are very professional and easy to work with. No hassles if they have to come back, put you on the schedule right away. Very pleased and would recommend to anyone.
We rented the heaters, this guy was So reasonable in price and understanding. He worked with us when things were not going as planned for us, like our power going out for hours (this had nothing to do with the heaters, it was a transforer.)
