Canine inspection advantage

Find evidence where visual inspections can struggle.

Bed bugs can hide in mattresses, furniture, wall voids, luggage areas, and small structural gaps. A trained detection dog searches for target odor across the inspection area while its handler documents areas of interest.

Non-invasive search
Inspect rooms and belongings with minimal disruption.
Focused findings
Help pest-management professionals target follow-up inspection and treatment.
Scalable service
Support one residence, a hotel floor, or a multi-property inspection plan.

ScentWorks K9 provides detection services, not pest-control treatment. Any K9 alert should be evaluated within an appropriate pest-management plan.

Frequently asked questions

Bed bug detection dog FAQs

What does a bed bug detection dog search for?

Purpose-trained dogs search for the target odor associated with live bed bug activity. The handler interprets the dog’s trained response and documents areas of interest.

Can a K9 inspection replace pest-control treatment?

No. Detection and treatment are separate services. A canine inspection can help guide additional evaluation, treatment planning, or post-treatment follow-up with a qualified pest professional.

Do you inspect hotels and multi-unit properties?

Yes. Inspection plans can be organized around guest rooms, residential units, shared spaces, furnishings, or other priority areas while considering occupancy and operational needs.

How should we prepare for the inspection?

Preparation depends on the property. We provide instructions covering access, room conditions, pets, food, airflow, and potential distractions before the team arrives.
