Bed Bug K9 Division

Figuring out if you have bed bugs is not easy. They hide in dark crevices during the day and usually come out at night when you're sleeping. It can take hours to thoroughly inspect a home, hotel or other business because bed bugs are so tiny and elusive.

Luckily, there's a relatively new weapon that can find these blood-sucking insects quickly and efficiently -- bed-bug-sniffing dogs. SKYLINE Pest Solutions is in the forefront for using the dogs in Georgia. They are part of our protocol for handling this type of infestation

Well-trained dogs will certainly not have a hard time finding work. There's been a resurgence of bed bugs thanks to international travel, immigration, and other factors. Bed bugs are turning up in fancy hotels, hospitals, dorm rooms, private houses, and crowded apartment buildings.

And they're not restricted to your bedroom, although that's where they commonly reside. They can live in furniture, under loosened wallpaper, and a variety of other places. The Environmental Protection Agency held a National Bed Bug Summit in April 2009 because the insects have become so prevalent.

We only use dogs that are NESDCA certified. Recently the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) announced its' partnership with NESDCA to form the Canine Insect Detection Division. Only choose K9 teams who set and abide by the industry Standard.

In research performed by the University of Florida, NESDCA-certified canines tested averaged a 98% accuracy rate in detecting the odor of live bed bugs and viable eggs in a controlled hotel room experiment. Human visual inspections are estimated to be only 17 to 30% accurate.
