Why Are K-9s So Effective in Bed Bug Detection?

A dog’s nose is a marvel of nature, capable of detecting the faintest scents. With the ability to sniff out up to 250 scents per minute, dogs become invaluable in identifying bed bugs, a common yet elusive pest in New Jersey and around the world.

Dog Team 6 employs a method called imprinting, exposing dogs like Rip (German Shepherd) and Honey (Belgian Malinois), to the scent of real bed bugs in their training. This training teaches them to detect bed bugs in areas invisible to the human eye, providing a crucial edge in early detection and prevention.

Studies, such as those conducted by the University of Florida and Rutgers University, underscore the efficacy of bed bug detection dogs. These canine heroes can discern bed bugs from other pests and pinpoint their exact location, boasting an impressive 95% to 98% accuracy rate, far surpassing that of human technicians, who can only work with what they see.

During a typical inspection, our dogs will meticulously search your property, be it a hotel, assisted living facility, or residential home.
