Why Bed Bug Dogs?

Bingo finding bed bugs A human inspector has a 17%-30% success rate in detecting bed bugs in a room.  A study done at the University of Florida demonstrated that scent detection dogs have a 97% accuracy rate in detecting even the earliest stages of a bed bug problem.  Dogs have been trained because of the vital need for early detection. Using a specially trained bed bug inspection dog will help you find the areas that need to be treated before the bed bugs multiply and heavily infest a room or many rooms.  After a pest control company has treated an area, a bed bug inspection dog will determine if the treatment has been successful in eradicating the problem. Dogs are being called the future of pest control for good reason.  Early detection is critical to success.  It is very difficult for a human to find a bed bug nymph or bed bug egg because bed bugs in these stages are miniscule and transluscent. Early detection is critical to successfully eradicating the problem.  Accurate detection is critical for safely targeting specific areas for treatment.  We are a bedbug detection service.  New England Canine Detectives are ready to find the slightest evidence of bed bugs before they become widespread.

What Sets Us Apart From the Rest?

Bingo is a beagle who was rescued from an animal shelter.  He was trained at J & K Canine Academy in High Springs, FL, which is recognized as the "gold standard" in the entomology canine detection field for training scent detection dogs.  It is the only bed bug program in the world with scientifically proven results and is a NESDCA certified training facility. Unlike other scent detection dogs who may be trained to detect more than one scent, Bingo has been trained to detect only the scent of bed bugs; this "single scent training" leads to more reliable results. To work his best, though, a dog needs a skilled handler. Ann Russell has been a professional dog trainer and behaviorist who has been training and handling dogs for over 25 years. Combining both of their skills into one team brings you the highest quality inspections in the field.
