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.

My wife and I used Rock Pest Control for a few critters around the house. They were always very kind, helpful, and, most importantly, great at their job! I would definitely recommend them if you have any pest control needs.
