Bed Bug Dogs False Negative

Bed Bug Dogs False Negative

Bed bug dogs are trained to detect the presence of bed bugs by scent. They are not trained to detect live bed bugs, only their scent. In many cases, a false negative may occur if a dog has been exposed to a scent that it has been trained to detect in the past. For example, if you have had pets in your home and they have urinated on furniture or carpeting at some point, this could cause your dog’s nose to identify that as an acceptable odor for training purposes. This type of scenario is more common than one may think; especially with highly trained dogs who have been working in one area for several years and come across different environments during their work day (i.e., commercial buildings). They will always make sure that they do not give false negatives but there really isn’t anything you can do about it besides retraining them on whatever new smells might be present in your home when the need arises!

False Positive and False Negatives in Bed Bug Detection

Bed bugs are one of the most difficult infestations to get rid of. It’s a huge problem that can take months to fix, and it’s very expensive.

The issue is that bed bugs are not easy to detect visually or by smell. They don’t leave behind fecal stains or shed skin; they’re also tiny (just 1/4-inch long), so they can be hard to spot without looking closely at every little place possible around your house. You might even miss them on yourself or your pets if you don’t pay close attention every time you change clothes!

Visual detection methods include using a flashlight, laying down black-and-white newspapers with clear tape over them so any stains will show up better in the dark room where they were placed; shining bright lights all over floorboards & walls until everything looks like an alien planet with big shiny spots all over everywhere…
