Bedbug Detection Dogs
There is now a new weapon in the fight against bedbugs. Dogs. Bedbugs have really invaded the United States especially in the last four years. Looking for better ways to detect these bloodsucking parasites, many pest control companies are using bedbug detection dogs and business is booming. Bedbugs hide during the day behind light switches and in wall cracks and other dark places. The detection dogs will sniff along the baseboards and in any other potential hiding places. The dogs are trained to detect the chemical odor that the bedbugs emit to each other, and will alert the handler of the bedbugs presence. The cost for such a job is often between $500 and $1000 for treating small apartments and offices. This will buy a trained dog to detect the vermin, sprayed steam and chemical sprays, and follow-up visits with the canine to ensure the bedbugs are gone.
