Natural bed bug sniffing dogs (AKA beagles) is something that was developed from years of research and experimentation using dogs. The reason why dog breeds such as beagles are so suited to this task is because their naturally keen senses can detect the pheromones that bed bugs emit. These pheromones happen when a female wants to reproduce with a male, which is why they’re called mating alerts. So, you’re thinking of getting a beagle to help you with your bed bug detection? Maybe you already have one and aren’t sure if they’re the best option for searching for bed bugs. If that’s the case then rest assured, beagles are brilliant at sniffing out bed bugs. Have you ever wanted to sleep with a dog? Yes, that’s a strange question. But in this article we will talk about the most loyal dog breed, the Beagle. Also known as the “nose dementia”, these dogs are used to detect illegal goods at airports. The fact is incredible, because these animals can also sniff out bed bugs! We wonder how it must feel to sleep with them, inhaling space odors without knowing it? Come with us and this wonderful discovery.

Beagle Bed Bug Sniffing

Beagles are trained to sniff out bed bugs.

Dogs have a superior sense of smell compared to humans. This is why they are trained to sniff out bed bugs by their smell, and then sit or stay when they find them. The training is a long process, taking several months, but the dogs are rewarded with food or toys every time they correctly identify the scent of bed bugs.

Beagles are trained to enter hotel rooms, homes and other locations in search of the tell-tale scent of a bed bug.

Beagles have a keen sense of smell and are well-suited for bed bug detection work. They can detect the presence of bed bugs in places where humans cannot, such as behind walls, inside mattresses and furniture, or even within luggage.

Beagles have been trained to detect other pests as well. For example, they are used by a few pest control companies to sniff out termites and rodents (rabbits).

Bed bugs leave a chemical odor, known as an aggregation pheromone, that is unique to the pest.

Bed bugs leave a chemical odor, known as an aggregation pheromone, that is unique to the pest. The pheromone stimulates other bed bugs to respond and seek out the source of the odor. This means that when you have bed bugs in your home or office building, it’s not just their bites or presence that lingers in your mind; their smell does too.

Bed bugs create this odor by releasing chemicals through glands located on their abdomens (the white dots seen on adult bed bug photos). These glands produce two main compounds: Esterase and Aldehyde-oxidase 1 (Aldo1). One study has shown that these compounds are released in response to carbon dioxide levels in the air—meaning they’ll only be produced while they’re near humans or animals who breathe normally at night (we exhale CO2).

This process hints at another thing we know about bedbugs: they prefer places with high concentrations of people because they like warm temperatures and lots of food sources nearby (namely us). It also means that if you find yourself in an infested area where there aren’t many other people around during certain times of day—like late afternoon—you may be able to detect if any pests have been present recently by checking for signs such as dark spots on walls where insects might have died from lack of oxygen due to higher ventilation systems running during work hours each day. If no such indicators are visible then chances are low enough numbers were present within range before leaving once again later evening.”

Dog training to sniff out bed bugs takes months and can be intense.

To make sure your dog is ready to sniff out bed bugs, they must be trained using real bed bug samples. The training takes months and can be a very rigorous process for both the dog and handler. When a dog finds a bed bug, he’s rewarded with treats or play time. The dog learns that finding bed bugs brings him closer to getting what he wants: treats!

Why does this matter? Bed bug sniffing dogs are trained to hold still when they find their target so that the insect can easily be located by humans.

The cost of a month’s salary for a trained bed bug sniffing dog may be lower than other bed bug detection methods.

You may be surprised to learn that the cost of a month’s salary for a trained bed bug sniffing dog may be lower than other bed bug detection methods. Other methods such as heat treatment, carbon dioxide aeration, or steam cleaning can cost thousands of dollars and take hours or days to complete. The cost of hiring a trained dog is far less than these alternatives and they can eliminate an entire infestation within minutes.

Another reason to consider using a trained dog over other detection methods is the potential savings in time and effort associated with treating your home after an infestation has occurred. If your apartment complex treated its units before selling them to new tenants, you will have to pay someone else who specializes in treating homes that are already inhabited by people living there full-time (i.e., not just college students). This means that even if those treatments work perfectly well on their own merits, they will still require additional labor from multiple technicians because the process needs to start anew every time someone moves into one of these units after it was treated once before!

Beagles and other dogs have been used to detect termites, drugs, explosives and even cancer.

Dogs have a sense of smell that is about 100,000 times as strong as ours. To put that in perspective, it would be like you having the ability to read a book written 100 feet away (which would be pretty incredible). This strength gives dogs an uncanny ability to sniff out all sorts of things such as bed bugs or drugs.

They can even be trained to detect cancer cells in human breath samples!

Trained dogs can be used in place of dangerous pesticides and chemicals to search for bed bugs

While trained dogs are not able to detect all species of bed bugs, they can be used to search for the most common species of bed bug. They are more sensitive than humans and can identify a single live bed bug at a time compared with a human who would have to detect multiple dead or dying bugs before they could confirm an infestation. In addition, dogs have better mobility than machines which makes them more effective at inspecting difficult-to-reach places such as cracks and crevices. Lastly, dog searches are less harmful to the environment than pesticide applications because they do not leave behind toxic residue like pesticides do when applied in large quantities over large areas.

Bed bug detection by dogs requires extensive training and ongoing practice conducted by specially trained handlers under controlled conditions so that false positives can be minimized or eliminated entirely. Dogs can provide accurate results even when used alone without visual confirmation from other humans or machines because their sense of smell is far superior to our own!
