When you think about it, the bed bug sniffing dog makes total sense. It’s a win-win all around. A great majority of people hate these little critters. And they don’t seem to have a preference when it comes to who they’ll feed off of. So, with that in mind… Bed Bug sniffing dogs can be a very effective way of detecting bed bugs. Bed Bug sniffing dogs are trained to perform a scent detection task, in this case to detect the presence of bedbugs. In studies done in hospitals, the dogs had detection rates as high as 97%. Imagine being an exterminator, who specializes in a pest that people are scared of and treat with irrational fear. Imagine having a bed bug sniffing dog at your disposal.
Bed Bug Sniffing Dogs
Introduction
Bed bug sniffing dogs are a great tool for detecting bed bugs in your home and keeping them away.
A sniffer dog is a dog that is trained to use its senses (mostly its smell) to detect substances such as explosives, illegal drugs, wildlife scat, currency, blood, and contraband electronics such as illicit mobile phones.
Sniffer dogs are trained to detect a wide range of substances. Sniffer dogs can be trained to detect:
- Explosives (such as TNT, dynamite, fireworks)
- Illegal drugs (cocaine, heroin etc.)
- Wildlife scat (bear droppings)
- Currency (dollars and euros)
- Blood left by a criminal or victim at the scene of a crime or accident. This is known as bloodsplatter detection or “blood scent tracking”. A dog may also be trained to locate a specific person by their smell when their DNA is found at the scene of a crime. There are currently no legal cases where this has been used in Australia yet but there have been many tests done overseas with great success rates so it will probably start happening here soon enough!
They are important when it comes to the detection of bed bugs for many different reasons.
The ability of dogs to detect the scent of bed bugs, drugs, and other pests is important when it comes to the detection of bed bugs for many different reasons.
These types of trained canines help aid in the detection of bed bugs in apartments as well as hotel rooms. They also aid law enforcement officers in finding illegal substances and contraband electronics such as cell phones during a search warrant or traffic stop. Dogs have been used by border patrol agents at international airports since the early 90’s in order to find smuggled currency, bomb-making materials and even items related to terrorism (like guns). The use of dogs has also been extended into other areas such as wildlife conservation where they can be used for tracking down endangered species or scat samples which may contain important information about their eating habits or nesting habitats etc…
The most obvious reason is that these canines have an incredible sense of smell which makes them far superior to us humans.
The most obvious reason is that these canines have an incredible sense of smell which makes them far superior to us humans. They are able to detect the scent of a substance up to several parts per trillion in volume, and their sense of smell is so strong that they have even been known to be able to detect cancer and other diseases long before it has been diagnosed by medical professionals.
Their noses are approximately 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours meaning they can detect the scent of a substance up to several parts per trillion in volume.
While we humans can detect the scent of a substance up to several parts per trillion in volume, dogs’ noses are approximately 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours. This means that they can detect the scent of a substance up to several parts per trillion in volume.
You could say that their noses are considered “super-human”, in fact their sense of smell is so strong that they have even been known to be able to detect cancer and other diseases long before it has been diagnosed by medical professionals.

This is because the dogs can detect substances in small amounts, even if they are not visible to the human eye. This makes them perfect for sniffing out bed bugs as well as other pests such as termites, fleas and ants.
Of course this means that the bed bug sniffing dogs are able to detect bed bugs even if there is only one or two present and often before any sign of infestation has been discovered by the human eye.
Of course this means that the bed bug sniffing dogs are able to detect bed bugs even if there is only one or two present and often before any sign of infestation has been discovered by the human eye. This is particularly important as it can be difficult for humans to spot bed bugs as they hide during the day and come out at night when we are asleep.
However, it’s important to note that these dogs are not infallible. Even though some canines have been known to detect infestations within an hour or less of their presence, they still need training so they know what scent to sniff out in order to identify a problem area.
This means that if you can get your hands on a sniffer dog early enough then you may be able to avoid a full blown infestation in the home!
If you are considering hiring a sniffer dog to help detect bed bugs in your home, be aware that this is a service that not all companies provide. There are ways of detecting bed bugs yourself, but the use of a professional bed bug sniffing dog can be invaluable if you suspect that there may be an infestation present in your house.
The trained sniffer dogs used by pest control companies have been specially trained to detect even one or two bed bugs in a room. They will also be able to find eggs and nymphs which are incredibly hard to spot with the human eye alone without training!
