Bed bug dogs Toronto - Choosing the right bed bug inspection

Bed bug dogs get the job done!
Suspect Bed Bugs? K-9 bed bug detection dogs get the job done right

Did you know that specially trained bed bug inspection dogs can detect as little as only one bed bug in a room? A bed bug sniffing dog has undergone special training that enables it to detect bed bugs and bed bug eggs with extreme accuracy, quickly.

More and more people in the Toronto area are discovering bites when they wake up in the morning and they're not sure where the bites are coming from. After looking closely at their bed, sheets and pillows many still cannot ascertain what is biting them.

Most people turn to the internet for information. After searching, reading and looking at bed bug bites pictures, most are somewhat horrified to suspect that they may be dealing with bedbugs.

Calling a reputable company to assist in the detection process is paramount - but, how does one know whom to call?

When looking for a bed bug dog detection company it is important to know that only those with the proper training and certification can be expected to perform to the high level that a consumer would expect.

K-9 bed bug detection, when done properly, is done by a 'certified' team - both dog and handler are trained and certified together. 

The two most accepted bed bug canine  training and accreditation agencies in North America are the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association - NESDCA and the North American Detector Dog Association - NADDA. Both agencies train and certify bed bug inspection dogs and their handlers to the highest standards. Any scent detection team that you hire should be certified by at least one of these two agencies.

K-9 bed bug detection cost is relatively inexpensive considering the accuracy and speed at which that accuracy is delivered. Depending on the structure, the price for bed bug detection can be based on a flat rate per job (a house, one apartment etc.) or, for larger commercial jobs the cost may be set per hour or at a reduced rate per unit as in the case of a large apartment building.

Regardless of the size of the structure, if bed bugs are suspected - best to call in the dogs.
