Bed bug dog sniffing is a trend that’s been growing over the last decade due to the fact that dogs have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. An average human has 5 million scent receptors — you can’t compete with that! Bed bugs can’t hide from dogs because of their keen sense of smell. You are annoyed by bedbug problem. Bed bugs have infested your house and apartment. Bed bug dog sniffing is an excellent way to get rid of bed bugs because dogs can smell the presence of these pests where human cannot. You have recently experienced a Bed Bugs attack in your home. The problem is, you don’t know whether the infestation occurred in your carpets, sofas, beds or luggage. Is there an inexpensive way to find out? The short answer is yes — bed bug dogs. Do you have bed bug problems? Have you used a dog that specializes in bed bugs? This can be a very effective way of detecting bed bugs, especially if you are dealing with an infestation. You’ll want to know where the bed bugs are and what they look like, so the dog will come in handy. But why do you want to know where they are?

Bed Bug Dog Sniffing

Bed Bug dog sniffing is a rapid, cost effective way of detecting bed bugs.

Dogs are able to inspect buildings much faster than humans, and this is achieved by their ability to detect odors in their environment. This means that a bed bug dog can survey an area in a fraction of the time it would take for an inspector or pest control professional. The speed of inspection is beneficial for both cost and efficiency reasons, as it does not waste resources or allow infestations to go undetected for long periods of time.

Bed bug dogs have also been shown to be more thorough than human inspectors when searching for evidence of bed bugs in a building. Because dogs have different sensory organs than humans, they are able to detect even minute traces of bed bug activity such as fecal stains on sheets or an individual bed bug hiding under a piece of furniture (the latter being impossible even with infrared technology). Additionally, while most people cannot smell live bugs without assistance from trained professionals, dogs possess exceptional olfactory capabilities which allow them to smell out live insects at distances up to 20 feet away! This makes them especially useful if there is any question about whether or not there might still be active infestations within your home or business premises – after all how could you be sure otherwise?

Bed Bug dogs are trained by their handlers to “alert” on the scent of live bed bugs.

Most bed bug dogs are trained by their handlers to “alert” on the scent of live bed bugs. The handler typically trains the dog by taking a sample (such as a pillowcase or mattress) that contains live bed bugs, placing it in a box and rewarding the dog when they find it. This establishes that there is an association between finding live bedbugs and getting positive feedback from their handler (being petted, receiving treats).

Bed bug dogs also need training for alerting on other odors associated with infestations such as dead or living eggs, fecal matter, shed skins and fecal stains; however this training can be more difficult than training them to alert on live bugs because these materials are invisible to us but visible to our dogs!

A handler-dog team is able perform a room inspection in minutes vs an experienced pest management technician taking an hour or more.

A handler-dog team is able perform a room inspection in minutes vs an experienced pest management technician taking an hour or more. The dog can be trained to work on beds, sofas, chairs, mattresses, carpet, curtains and under floorboards. Dogs can also be used in apartments or homes as well as hotels, dormitories and hospitals or offices.

Dogs can detect a single live bed bug, which is not possible with other technologies.

To detect bed bugs, the dog sniffs out the scent of live bed bugs. There are no false alerts for other insects or mites (which look like tiny spiders), and the dog does not alert on non-insect debris such as fecal material, shed skin, dead bodies, or empty egg casings.

The dog can also detect eggs that are laid by live adult female bed bugs even if they have been hidden in a wall void. In addition to their ability to detect live bed bugs and eggs, dogs can also locate them behind walls or inside furniture upholstery when they are not visible to humans using visual inspection methods alone.

Any physical inspection cannot confirm that there are no bed bugs present with 100% certainty. But a room cleared by a Bed Bug dog has been found to be 99% free of live bed bugs and their eggs.

If you suspect that you have bed bugs, but aren’t sure, hiring a dog is an excellent way to confirm your suspicions. They can find bed bugs even when they’re hidden in places where humans can’t see them. Dogs have a better sense of smell than humans and are not distracted by clutter or other smells in the room. A trained bed bug detection dog will not destroy your possessions as some people might with wooden furniture or throw rugs.

Bed bug dogs are specially trained to detect live or dead bed bugs and their eggs by scent alone (although some may also use heat signatures from living organisms). If a dog finds evidence of live bugs on site this gives you more confidence that there may be some present at some point during the inspection process as well!

The cost savings for businesses in having rooms cleared of bed bugs is significant, and often worth more than the cost of the dog inspection.

A bed bug sniffing dog can save a business money in all of the following ways:

• The cost savings in having rooms cleared of bed bugs is significant and often worth more than the cost of the dog inspection.
• Savings are in the cost of treatment and expense of a pest control technician, not to mention damage to public reputation if you don’t respond quickly.
• Lost revenue from closed rooms can be enormous if you are an inn or hotel with multiple rooms booked every day. Not only do you have to charge customers for each night’s stay while they wait for their infested room to be treated, but some will cancel their reservations altogether and go elsewhere if your reputation gets bad enough or if word has spread about how many other people were complaining about being bitten by bed bugs at your establishment

Most Bed Bug dogs are certified by an independent organization using national standards.

Most of the dogs are certified by an independent organization using national standards. The certification process is rigorous, and the dogs must be recertified every year.

The dogs are trained to use positive reinforcement techniques and never any harsh training methods like shock collars or choke chains.

The dogs are trained to use positive reinforcement techniques and never any harsh training methods like shock collars or choke chains. They are very sensitive to the emotions of their handlers, so they respond well when trained using positive reinforcement. Dogs have been used for centuries as an integral part of pest control because their sense of smell is more than 100 times greater than ours, making them ideal for locating bedbugs. Dog trainers also use cookies and other treats to reward the dogs when they find live bedbugs or evidence of a previous infestation.

A good Bed Bug dog team will have a good record of results with hotels, dormitories, hospitals and homes, where they have been proven to work very well. Takeaway: Pest control companies should have this technology available to their customers

Bed bugs are a problem in many types of housing. They may be found in apartments, hotels and dormitories, hospitals and homes. In fact, bed bug infestations have been reported at all levels of society from homeless shelters to five star hotels.

Bed bug detection dog teams have proven their worth by detecting bed bugs in these facilities with great success.
