Bed bugs are more than a mere pest for hotel owners and renters. They are an unreasonably expensive problem to deal with, both financially and in terms of time. Traveling is fun but it can also be easy to bring home unwanted guests like bed bugs. If you have a severe infestation it may be better to contact a professional exterminator to come in and treat the problem. In cases where there is just one or two bed bugs, the bed bug dog treatment may be the best option. What would you do if you discovered that your dog has bed bugs? I have had a couple of instances where people have asked me this question with the implication that they wanted to know how to treat the problem. I can’t really say this enough, don’t be embarrassed if this happens to you. It has happened to me and I’m sure it’s happened to plenty of other pet owners (ummm, pick up your poop).

Bed Bug Dog Detection
Bed bug dogs are extremely accurate at finding bed bugs, and they can do so faster than any human. A trained dog can inspect an entire room in mere minutes, while a human would take hours to do the same work. The speed of bed bug detection is crucial when you have a large building or home that needs to be inspected for the pests.
Bed bug dogs can also be used to inspect areas where humans cannot reach or go; they are able to access places like attics and crawl spaces where there may be infestations but not yet visible signs of them (e.g., eggs). This makes them ideal for checking hotel rooms or residential units before guests check in as well as during their stay at these locations; furthermore, it allows owners who live in multi-family dwellings such as apartments or condos where tenants share walls with others to determine whether those other residents may have a problem with bed bugs without having access themselves
Top Three Reasons to Consider a Bed Bug Dog Treatment
The following are three reasons to consider a bed bug dog treatment:
- Dogs can detect bed bugs better than humans. While many people are aware of the existence and prevalence of bed bugs, they may not realize just how few methods there are for actually detecting them. Bed bug detection dogs provide an important service in this regard because they have a heightened sense of smell and can therefore smell the presence of live bed bugs or their eggs more quickly than humans can. That being said, it should be noted that while dogs’ noses are much better than ours at detecting chemicals produced by live insects and animals—such as pheromones—they don’t necessarily perform as well when it comes to identifying organic materials like food odors or even some types of cancer cells. The reason for this discrepancy is not clear but may be related to the fact that different types of scents activate different parts in our brain’s olfactory system; thus far no one has figured out how best to train dogs so that they’re able to pick up all kinds of scents with equal accuracy . However, dogs do seem capable
How Dogs Find Bed Bugs
One of the most important aspects of bed bug detection is the ability to find bed bugs when they are hiding, which can be especially difficult in places that are hard-to-reach or that have limited access. The good news is that dogs can detect bed bugs even when they are hidden in tiny cracks and crevices.
Dogs have a much better sense of smell than humans do, so they’re often able to detect even small amounts of pest odor. This is why some people who suffer from allergies may rely on their pet for relief instead of medication or other treatments—as long as your dog has been trained correctly, he’ll be able to lead you right to the source! Because dogs have such sensitive noses, it’s also easy for them to pick up scents at lower concentrations than we ever could ourselves.”
What Is the Best Way to Find Bed Bugs?
The best way to find bed bugs is by visual inspection. Bedbugs are small, brownish-red insects that feed on the blood of animals and humans. The eggs of bedbugs are white, oval, and about 1/32 inch long. A mother bed bug can lay hundreds of eggs during her lifetime. They’re typically found in mattresses and box springs, but may also be found in upholstered furniture or behind baseboards. Bedbug larvae is pretty much what they sound like—the immature form of a bedbug that looks like an adult except it has no wings or eyes yet
How Does a Bed Bug K9 Inspection Work?
Bed bug dogs are trained to sniff out bed bug scent, which is their primary method for detecting infestations. They can also detect live bed bugs and eggs, as well as dead or dying ones. Although it’s possible that a trained dog may find some other types of pests in your home, this won’t be their primary focus when you hire them for an inspection.
It is important to note that not all dogs will react to every type of pest equally well—for example, some dogs may be able to smell mice and rats but not necessarily termites. So if you have some concerns about what kinds of pests are present in your home (or nearby), it’s best just ask what kind of training each dog has had before putting down any money on an inspection service with one of these canine companions!
