The key to complete bed bug elimination begins with proper identification of infested areas. While adult bed bugs may be easier to identify, bed bug nymphs and eggs are very difficult to locate, especially in early or light infestations. With an adept sense of smell, K-9 scent detection dogs possess the unique ability to detect bed bugs quickly and efficiently, with little disruption to your home, office or hotel room.

Accuracy Accuracy in detecting adult bed bugs, nymphs and eggs is 97% for K-9 Unit Inspections vs. Accuracy in detecting adult bed bugs approximately 40-60% for Traditional Inspections

DurationInspection durations ranging from 2-15 minutes per room for K-9 Units vs. Inspections ranging from 20 minutes to 1 hour per room for Traditional Inspections

DisruptionMinimal to no disruption to the occupant(s) with K-9 Units vs. Moderate level of disruption to the occupant (dismantling of bed, moving of furniture, etc.) with Traditional Inspections

LimitationsK-9 Unit detection has no limitations in cluttered areas, inside upholstered surfaces, mattress seams, beneath carpet, behind baseboards, etc. vs. Traditional Inspections, where detection is limited to visual inspection area only

At Plunketts Pest Control, our goal is to maintain a world class bed bug K-9 scent detection program. Thats why we will only employ canines who have achieved 600 hours or more of specialized training on how to seek and find bed bugs. K-9 Unit team handlers will also provide on-going training to keep the dogs sharp and focused. While no bed bug inspection can be 100% accurate, the use of a trained K-9 bed bug inspection team is the most accurate means of detection available.

K-9 bed bug detection dogs use their keen sense of smell to detect the odor of live bed bugs and viable bed bug eggs. Plunketts bed bug dogs are trained on a food/or toy reward philosophy, similar to cadaver and police dogs. This means that if the K-9 alerts (a special action specific to each individual dogs training) its handler will reward with food. The area or areas where the K-9 alerts will be documented for further inspection by the handler and allow for quicker, more targeted bed bug treatment.
