 Dogs
have long been used for bomb, arson, and drug detection. They
are now being used in the fight against bedbugs. Through scent
detection our dogs are able to locate the presence of bedbugs
that would otherwise go undetected with a standard visual
inspection.Hotels, Motels, Hospitals, and Homeowners can now
benefit from the latest technology in bedbug detection.
After a growing increase in bedbug related service requests
within the Ottawa region Pestguard has responded by implementing
a K-9 unit to aid in detection & treatment. This valuable
inspection tool is the only one of its kind capable of pinpointing
exact locations of bedbug infestations. Preventative Inspection
and Early detection will ensure your property is bedbug free
and lower remediation costs.
With a 90% to 95% accuracy rating in detection this is a substantial
advantage over a visual inspection alone which is only 30%
accurate in detection. Even the most experienced pest control
operators can not see behind walls, baseboards, furniture,
and other areas bedbugs will seek harborage. Our dogs are
capable of locating bedbug activity before it reaches an level
of infestation.
Advantages of K-9 Bedbug Inspection:
• highly accurate - with a detection efficiency of 90-95%
• effective remediation-pinpoints areas of activity
• cost effective - remediation costs are lowered
• eco-friendly - minimal pesticides are required
• honest indication - dogs work for praise not profit
• efficiency - dog can inspect a dwelling within minutes
• proven & trusted - long used in field of detection
• peace of mind - no indication = no infestation
• due diligence - avoid litigation from angry tenants
About Our Dogs
Our K-9 unit has received over 800 hours of field training
from a leader in the field of K-9 scent detection training
based in the southern United States. After training dogs for
many years for law enforcement and the military (bomb &
drug detection) they began training dogs for termite detection.
After great success there are now more than 120 working dogs
for termite detection within the United States.
With the influx of bedbug activity within North America the
next logical step was to start training dogs for bedbug detection
to meet this growing demand. There are now more than 40 bedbug
detection dogs employed within the United States.
