1.  What are canine bed bug inspections, and how do they work?   Canine bed bug inspections involve trained dogs using their remarkable sense of smell to detect bed bugs. In certain inspections, particularly residential ones, I also perform a visual inspection of the suspected areas to ensure thoroughness and accuracy. â€‹

 

2.  Are canine bed bug inspections accurate?  Yes, canine inspections are highly accurate, especially when combined with visual inspections. This dual approach ensures that no evidence is overlooked.​

 

3. What are the benefits of using a canine for bed bug detection?

Canine inspections are fast, non-invasive, and highly effective. Early detection, especially at the very beginning stages of an infestation, can save significant costs by preventing the need for extensive and expensive treatments.  â€‹

 

4.  How do I prepare my home for a canine bed bug inspection? Keep the area tidy, remove distractions like food or pets, and avoid using strong scents. Refrain from using chemical treatments, diatomaceous earth, or bed bug traps containing pheromones.  

 

​5.  How much does a canine bed bug inspection cost?  Prices depend on the property size and services needed. For residential inspections, the combined canine and visual inspection adds significant value by increasing precision and preventing unnecessary treatment.​

 

6.  Can canine inspections detect bed bugs in commercial properties? Absolutely! Canine inspections are ideal for large commercial spaces. Technicians cannot possibly perform visuals on larger areas.

 

​7. What should I do if bed bugs are found during the inspection? Since I do not offer treatments, if evidence is discovered through canine inspections the next step to consult a licensed pest control expert for tailored treatment options, such as heat or chemical methods.  A written report will be provided so you can share with your pest control company.

 

​8. Why should I choose a canine inspection over traditional methods?canine inspections are faster, less disruptive, and more precise. This method ensures comprehensive and reliable results.  Likewise, you may not have to spend large amounts of money if bed bugs are not detected.​
