Bed bug dog sniffers can smell the presence of bed bugs from an odor emitted from these pests. You probably know that bed bugs enjoy hiding in imperceptible spaces—behind walls, under furniture, behind electrical wires, and even in piled tissues or books. They are well-known for their ability to hide in such places, but can you imagine what it is like trying to look for a single bed bug inside a house? It will take hours to check all the beds and backgrounds in your house. This is where the job of dog sniffer comes in handy. Bed bug dog sniffers are your initial line of defense against the spread of bed bugs. They are used to detect and locate infestations of bedbugs. Bed bug sniffing dogs use their highly developed sense of smell to determine if there is an infestation in a home or business.

Bed Bug Dog Sniffers

Specialized training

One of the biggest perks of using a bed bug dog is that they are trained to detect live bed bugs and viable eggs. This means that the dog can sniff out the scent of a living bed bug, even if it’s hiding in or under furniture. While this may seem obvious to some people, other detection methods such as thermal imaging or carbon monoxide monitoring do not have this ability.

To train a dog to identify live bed bugs and viable eggs, they must be given samples containing both types of specimens so that they can learn how to differentiate between them. The most effective way for this training process is through positive reinforcement techniques rather than negative ones (which would include scolding). Once the dogs have learned what live bed bugs and viable eggs smell like, they will recognize them instantly once exposed again during an inspection process when searching for any signs at all

Dog and handler teams

The handler is responsible for the dog’s well-being, including its health, training and fitness. The handlers are responsible for ensuring that their dogs are trained to sniff out bed bugs in a variety of environments. A good handler makes sure that his or her dog has enough exercise and mental stimulation throughout the day so as not to become bored and possibly trigger any undesirable behavior problems. As you can imagine, this is a pretty serious job.

A handler may also be called upon at night when there is no one else around but only if you live in an area where this kind of thing happens very often (like New York City).

Detection

Dogs can detect bed bugs quickly, thoroughly and accurately. This is especially true in areas that are difficult to reach or see. Bed bug detection dogs can be used to detect the chemicals emitted by live bed bugs as well as dead ones. The dog teams we work with have successfully detected bed bugs in hundreds of hotel rooms and apartments, beds, headboards, spaces under furniture (like couches), luggage racks on trains and buses, movie theaters seats and even inside stuffed animals.

Certified K9’s

A Certified K9 is a dog and handler that have been trained by a third party certified in pet odor detection. The certification process involves the team demonstrating their ability to detect illegal substances, or to properly identify contraband when they find it.

Certified K9’s are also required to maintain their certifications through ongoing training and testing, not just when they are first certified. This ensures that dogs continue operating at peak performance levels rather than simply relying on what they learned during training sessions years earlier.

The trained scent detection dog and his handler must work as a team, so each must be able to communicate with the other effectively even if there are no words spoken between them. The dog must know how far away from an item he needs to alert his handler about its location so that both can safely approach it together; likewise, the handler has an important role in guiding his canine partner toward areas where they might find something interesting or suspicious enough for him (or her) get excited about sniffing around further

Cost effective

A professional dog sniffs for bugs are a cost effective way to find them. Instead of paying for multiple visits from a technician and having the technician charge by the hour, you can hire one visit from a professional dog sniffer. These costs are much lower than other methods like using thermal imaging cameras or hiring an exterminator. It’s worth it when you consider that they’re trained professionals who know how to use their skill set in order to save your money and protect your home.

The best option for detection

The best option for early detection is using trained dogs. Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to detect, as they can conceal themselves in the cracks and crevices of mattresses, box springs and furniture. Using a dog that’s specially trained to sniff out bed bugs is the most reliable way of locating them before they become established in your home.

However, you may be wondering how dogs are able to find bed bugs when we can’t see them or even feel them crawling on us? Human sense of smell is limited compared with that of many animals; however, dogs have an exceptional sense of smell which allows them to detect tiny traces of chemicals that humans could never detect unaided (or even with the aid of sophisticated equipment). The canine nose has been shown to be over 100 million times more sensitive than our own noses! One study found that German shepherds could successfully locate cockroaches hiding under layers of cardboard by smelling their scent trails – something I would have found impossible without this study!

Because bed bug detection dogs use their sense of smell rather than sight they are less invasive than other techniques such as visual searches or chemically detecting residual insecticides around a mattress/box spring etc., so they won’t disturb any possible eggs or larvae present on surfaces being searched by hand methods but which would otherwise go unnoticed during visual inspections.

You can avoid bites by having an early detection system in place, and dog sniffers are the best.

If you are looking for a way to avoid bed bug bites and keep your home free from infestation, then dog sniffers should be your first choice. Dog sniffers can detect the presence of eggs, which is something that human inspectors may miss. Additionally, because dogs have such sensitive noses, they’re able to identify smaller traces of odors than humans can.

As an added bonus: using a dog is far less invasive than other detection methods that require fumigating or heat treating entire rooms full of furniture and clothing items (and possibly pets). Using these methods not only wastes money on unnecessary treatments, but also puts sensitive items at risk by exposing them to harmful chemicals and heat damage. A trained canine will be able to inspect every inch of an entire room in minutes while giving you peace of mind that no bugs are lurking close by!
