Why use a bed bug dog?
1.Cost Effective. Since dogs generate quicker and more accurate results, this leads to lower remediation costs for landlords and tenants.
2.Traditional inspection methods rely on sight. The nose of a dog is able to detect and pinpoint sources of bed bug infestations even when they can’t be seen.
3.Dogs are trained to work for food and love - not for profit.
4.Greater Peace of Mind. Research supports that if the dog finds bed bugs, there is a high statistical probability you should investigate further. If the dog does not find bed bugs, you know with greater certainty that your space is free from bed bugs.
5.It’s Green. Using a dog to pinpoint the exact location of bed bugs reduces the need to treat an entire area.
6.Reassurance. After treatment, our bed bug dog can validate the service ensuring that all bed bugs are removed from the treatment area.
In a recent paper written for the Journal of Economic Entomology titled Ability of bed bug-detecting canines to locate live bed bugs and viable bed bugs eggs, dogs were 98% accurate in locating live bed bugs.
