A bed bug infestation is an infestation of Cimex lectularius (the common bed bug) and sometimes also other species of the genus Cimex such as Cimex hemipterus. It is mainly associated with the feeding by blood on human beings and occasionally on other warm-blooded animals. Bed bugs are mainly active at night, but are not exclusively nocturnal. They usually feed on their hosts without being noticed. Bed bugs are a growing problem in the Tri-State area, and their presence is becoming more apparent. Bed bugs have the ability to exist without feeding for periods of up to 18 months, making infestations of these insects very challenging to eradicate.

Introduction
Bed bug infestations are a serious problem that can spread rapidly in residential and commercial properties. If you suspect bed bugs are in your home, having a certified canine inspection can identify where they are hiding and provide the information needed to remove them.
Bed Bug Inspection
Bed bug inspection is a process that includes a visual inspection of the premises, and a canine inspection of the premises. Dogs are trained to sniff out bed bugs in any part of the house or building. The bed bug dog handler will record all findings on an inspection report. This document outlines where bed bugs were found, their location and how many were present at each location. It also describes their size and colouring, as well as whether they were alive or dead at the time of discovery.
The inspection process is conducted by a certified bed bug dog handler who has been trained in detection by one of our trainers. They will walk through each room with you explaining what they are doing at every step along with providing recommendations for treatment options based on your findings during this time period
Bed Bug Detection
Bed bugs are small, oval, brownish insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. The common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) is the species most often found in homes and hotels/motels. It is a reddish-brown color after feeding. Adults grow to about 1/4 inch long, and have a flat body with no wings. After being fed, their bodies swell and turn a dark mahogany color. Bed bugs do not fly but they can crawl quickly over floors, walls and ceilings .
Bed bugs may leave reddish-brown stains on bed sheets or mattresses from their droppings when crushed or squished by accident while feeding on blood; however, they are not known to transmit diseases so these stains are usually not an indication of infestation unless you look closely at them – then you’ll likely see some tiny black dots which are actually dried blood spots left behind by crushed bed bugs!
Bed Bug Dogs
Bed bug dogs are trained to detect bed bugs. They use their highly developed sense of smell to locate bed bugs in furniture and other places. Bed bug dogs are not trained to detect other pests such as termites, cockroaches or rodents because they cannot be used as a substitute for a pest control professional.
Bed bug dogs can also be used for:
- Bedbug inspections at hotels
- Apartment building inspections
- Home inspection

K9 Bed Bug Inspections
Dog training is an essential part of being a bed bug dog handler. While many people believe their pets are great at detecting the tiny bugs, this isn’t always the case. Dogs need to be trained for specific tasks in order for them to be effective at finding the little critters. There are several steps involved with dog training, including:
- Training your pet for basic commands such as sit and stay
- Teaching him how to respond when he finds something specific like a bed bug or even just food
- Making sure that your pet doesn’t react negatively when someone comes near him while he’s working on his task
