Bed Bug Detection Services ForHawaii
For years, humans have used canines to find things that they cannot find on their own: missing children, narcotics, weapons, criminals; the list goes on and on. With over 220 million olfactory receptors, dogs have the uncanny ability to detect the virtually undetectable. At K9 Scent Detection Hawaii, we utilize our furry friends to detect none other than our bed bug nemeses.
In a canine inspection, our canine team will visit your facility and quickly and accurately detect the presence or absence of bed bugs, today's most notorious biting pest. The process is much quicker and less invasive than a human inspection and will leave you with the peace of mind you need after a bed bug scare.
We can use canines to accurately detect the presence of low level bed bug infestations; as little as one live bed bug or one live egg. In addition, we can use this technique to confirm the absence of bed bugs! Our canine are over 97% effective in detecting bed bugs: that's compared to a human's inspection ability, which is a measly 30% even on our best days! In addition, a human may have to tear the room apart in order to detect a low level infestation (if he/she can even find it at all!).
At K9 Scent Detection Hawaii, we know that bed bugs are a sensitive issue, one people dont want to think about and cant seem to talk about. Because of this, we operate very discretely. Our uniforms are a simple polo and pants, nothing that mentions bed bugs or pest control. Our company vehicles are also discrete. We are used to avoiding questions from the public about what we are looking for. Finally, we chose the perfect canines for this sensitive business, where our clientele includes some of the highest rated resorts on the island. Scout and Ally are highly trained working dogs. They were selected above all other canine candidates for several reasons. Obviously, they are highly intelligent and driven dogs, but that was not the only reason. They are friendly, quiet and well behaved too. Beagles are often notorious for being loud and a bundle of energy, but Scout and Ally have been well trained to not bark, are calm, and most importantly, very friendly. In addition, Scout and Ally are smaller dogs, under 20 lbs. This means they can get around more places than bigger dogs, are generally less intimidating for people who arent comfortable with dogs, and are more discrete in sensitive situations than larger dogs and they even ride around in strollers! Finally, Scout and Ally do not leave a lot of hair behind. They dont shed much and are brushed before work to catch any loose hairs that may be ready to come off. Because of these reasons, Scout and Ally often are unseen, or under the radar in many of our sensitive accounts.
Our K9 teams are certified by National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association (NESDCA) and re-certify every year. NESDCA is an independent, non-bias, third party certifying organization. This organization exists solely to certify that K9 teams are on tracks and working how they claim to work. Re-certification is necessary every year and requires master trainers to come to us in Hawaii in order to test our canines and handlers. In addition, our dogs are trained every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our canines stay with our K9 department manager, which means even on holidays and weekends our canines are detecting bed bugs!
These are some of the most common questions we get. If you have another, call us! (808) 456-7716. Our Bug Expert can also answer your questions online!
It is not known for certain, but it is highly likely that it is a pheromone or a similar chemical signature that live bed bugs give off so they can communicate with each other.
Yes. In order to be NESDCA certified, your dog may only detect ONE thing: bed bugs OR termites OR whatever pest he/she is trained for. This is because if your dog alerts on both, you may not know what you are dealing with. For instance, if your dog is trained to alert for termites and bed bugs, and he alerts on a baseboard, you do not know if the baseboard has termites, bed bugs, or BOTH! Furthermore, research shows that when a dog is cross trained to detect more than one odor his/her accuracy to detect the target best is greatly decreased. Therefore, Scout and Ally ONLY detect LIVE bed bugs and viable eggs.
Because dead bugs dont bite! Oftentimes bed bugs die in wall voids, in mattresses and in other areas where you would be unable to clean them up. If that happens, you will never be able to use the canine to confirm that all the bed bugs are gone!
