K9 Bed Bug Detection

K9-Bed Bug Detection

Dogs are man’s best friend and every day man’s best friend is working hard in the battle against Bed Bugs. Their keen sense of smell makes them the ideal weapon when it comes to detecting Bed Bugs. Due to their special training, our Bed Bug dogs are able to detect Bed Bugs with amazing precision. Not only can they recognize the scent of live Bed Bugs and their eggs, they can tell the difference between live and dead bugs, and also between Bed Bugs and their dead skin and feces.

The level of accuracy that dogs can detect Bed Bugs at has surpassed that of conventional methods. Delta Pest’s K9 team is quicker and more accurate than any of the other methods currently being used. University studies have shown that trained Bed Bug dogs, because of their sensitive sense of smell, are more accurate and faster than a trained technician. This along with the reliability of our Bed Bug dogs is why Delta Pest is the clear choice for you.

Our Delta Pest team handler will sweep a room using his dog. The dogs will sniff in every aspect of the room. When they have discovered a Bed Bug scent, the dog is trained to alert the handler, at which point the handler will make a visual inspection of the areas to confirm the accuracy of the dog. 

A room inspection by a human can take hours, and one by our bed bug dogs can take minutes. Delta Pest’s K9 teams can save time and money. The accuracy of the dogs prevents treatments in unaffected rooms and ensures treatments are conducted only in infested areas and that Bed Bugs are detected before infestations can spread throughout the property.

It can be difficult for a human exterminator to guarantee that there are no live Bed Bugs or eggs during a follow-up inspection. Delta Pest’s K9 Team dogs will only alert to the presence of live Bed Bugs or live eggs. The determination can then be made as to whether or not the extermination effort was successful or if further treatments would be needed.
