Bed bugs have finally met their match. The most recent, latest weapons in the struggle against bed bugs are highly trained bed bug detection dogs with names like Scout. These dogs diligently spot these repulsive blood-sucking parasitic insects with weird accuracy. Related Bill Cowley of Cowleys Termite & Pest Services press release for free, “Cost-effectively locating these slippery insects can be a challenge particularly in huge multi-room structures. Pest management professionals are realizing the time and cost savings of enrolling bed bug sniffing dogs to help conduct initial inspections.” . According to Cowley, “Though bed bugs can wind up anywhere, structures with short lived populations such as hostels, hospices, flats, school dorms, and other multi-type dwellings are particularly at risk.
Bed bugs are pros of the art of stealth. Because of their size – an adult is about the size of a flattened apple seed – bed bugs may be able to hide in cracks the width of a playing card. So when locating only a few bed bugs, scent-detecting canines have a distinct advantage over human visible inspections.
. Scent-detection dogs can quickly identify even only one bug. Hotels and other commercial conglomerates are also taking a proactive approach by conducting periodic bed bug inspections before waiting for client beefs. A bed bug inspection team can sweep a hotel room in a case of minutes.” . Continued Cowley, “Bed bug infestations are increasing at such an alarming rate that state legislatures are now getting involved. The employment of these specifically trained dogs will skyrocket as the focus is changing to pro-active detection to catch infestations early. For instance, here in New Jersey there is pending bed bug legislation (A. 2072) that makes landlords answerable for eliminating bed bug infestations.
This bill (S. Can a dog truly detect a miniscule insect? You bet. The olfactory ability of a dog is a wonder of anatomy and physiology. Lurking behind a dogs’ textured, damp nostrils are sensitive membranes that permit a dog to distinguish smells that emanate from every living or once-living thing.
Bed bug detection is yet another application that harnesses the power of a dog’s scent-detection capabilities. You virtually want to tell the bed bugs, ‘Time’s up.’ Scout is given training to specifically sense the presence of odour of live bed bugs and viable bed bug eggs. Why use dog detection in locating bed bugs? According to Cowley, “More correct diagnostic results mean lower treatment costs. Finding the site of hiding bed bugs dramatically cuts down on the quantity of chemical used as well as lowering the cost of treatment.
Bed bug-detecting dogs are a good way to go green and save money.” . For example, one remarkable facility, J&K Canine Academy, works alongside School of Florida entomologists. The dog and its handler should have NESDCA (Countrywide Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association) verification. Also, the dog must receive ongoing coaching.
Ask to see the dogs’ training logs. The training and handling of these dogs is a full-time job. Concluded Cowley, “People frequently mess around trying to address these infestations on their lonesome.
The only successful resolution to a bed bug infestation is a multi-tactic approach coordinated by an approved, pro pest management service. ” .
