Question 1

How accurate are bed bug sniffing dogs?

Accepted Answer

Research shows certified bed bug detection dogs achieve 97%+ accuracy rates, compared to approximately 30% for visual inspection. Dogs can detect a single bed bug or egg, even in hidden locations. Certification requires regular testing to maintain accuracy standards. False positives can occur, so positive alerts should be verified with visual inspection.

Question 2

How long does a K-9 inspection take?

Accepted Answer

K-9 inspection is significantly faster than visual inspection. A trained dog can inspect a hotel room in 2-3 minutes and a typical home in 15-30 minutes. Visual inspection of the same spaces typically takes 30-60 minutes per room. The speed advantage makes K-9 inspection particularly valuable for large properties.

Question 3

Is K-9 inspection good for apartment buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. K-9 inspection is well-suited for multi-unit properties including apartments, hotels, and nursing homes. Dogs can quickly identify which units have active infestations, allowing targeted treatment. This is more efficient than treating all units and helps prevent spread between units.
