Do Bed Bug Dogs Really Work? Are you in the middle of a Bed Bug infestation, frustrated that it doesn’t seem to be getting better no matter what you do? If so, the idea of bringing in a team of dogs to sniff out those pesky critters may have crossed your mind. Maybe you’ve even hired one already. Well I’m here to tell you if you’re somewhat skeptical about this, you are definitely not alone. Have you ever used a bed bug sniffing dog? Are they actually effective at locating bed bugs? Many people think they are, but I’m going to put that to the test. Is the bed bug sniffing dog one of these things that just “works magic”? Or is it really him and the handler that’s doing all the work? Is it just a scam? In this post, I want to find out if someone who knows nothing about bed bugs can be trained to locate them by using some of the most popular dog entrepreneurs in the country. I hope to accomplish this by challenging one of my friends to a “Bed bug dog vs human” competition. Who will win?

Bed Bug Dog Accuracy

How accurate are bed bug dogs?

As you can see, the dog’s accuracy rating can vary significantly depending on its training regimen. For example, if your dog is trained to detect only the scent of a particular breed of dog (a German shepherd, for example), then it’s accuracy rating will be very low. However, if your dog is trained to detect a specific odor like marijuana or cocaine instead of just one breed’s scent, then it will have an extremely high accuracy rating.

The reason why some dogs are better at finding bed bugs than others is because they’ve been taught by their trainers how to do so properly. Professional training programs provide dogs with information about how they should behave when they find bed bugs in order for them not only be able to detect them but also understand what “bed bug” means so that they don’t go after anything else besides what they were originally meant for: insects within homes specifically designed for human use such as beds themselves along with other furniture pieces used inside bedrooms due mostly because these locations tend contain more pests than other areas within residences such as kitchens or bathrooms.)

A study was published in the JAMA Internal Medicine(JIM) Journal. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Florida who investigated bed bug dog accuracy.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Florida who investigated bed bug dog accuracy. The study was set up to determine whether or not dogs can detect bed bugs in apartments used for infestations.

The researchers examined four sets of buildings, which included:

• Two sets of identical apartments that were infested with bed bugs, and two sets that were not infested with any pests (control apartment buildings).

The following is a more detailed breakdown of how the experiment was conducted:

• The first set consisted of eight apartments with bedbugs (infested) and eight without (uninfested). All sixteen units were inspected by men and women who did not know which ones had been previously treated for an infestation or not; these individuals performed visual inspections only (no chemical sprays). This provided both visual evidence as well as proof as to whether or not there actually were any live insects present during their examination process.
• The second set also consisted of sixteen units — eight had been treated for an existing problem while another eight remained uninfested; however this time around those inspecting these properties knew which ones had undergone such treatment beforehand but still performed visual inspections only since no chemical treatments had been applied within recent weeks when these evaluations took place.”

Researchers who conducted the study monitored 22 apartments in four buildings and they were infested with either two or four bed bugs. The apartments were infested over 5 days after which half of them were treated for bed bugs using steam, heat and pesticides.

The researchers used a dog that was trained to detect live bed bugs. They found that the dogs could accurately find all live bed bugs, but often missed dead ones.

Each apartment was inspected by a dog handler and then, after 9 weeks, all the apartments were inspected again. During each inspection the dog and handler pair spent one minute on each room that had an infestation to try and detect if any bedbugs were present.

In this study, specially trained dogs were used to detect bed bugs. Dogs can detect living and dead bed bugs, eggs and fecal matter. The sense of smell in dogs is 40 times greater than that of humans. Dogs are capable of detecting bed bugs in their nymph stage, which humans cannot do until adulthood has been reached by the insects.

The results showed that dogs identified one in three apartments that did not have bedbugs and failed to identify five rooms that did have them. In addition, no differences in accuracy between dogs without any training and those with training was found.

In conclusion, bed bug dogs are not very accurate at all. The reason for this is two-fold: firstly there are many variables outside of just how good a dog’s nose is; secondly there is no way of knowing exactly how good a dog’s nose is (for example they could be better than what we think).
