Our pest technicians are available 24/7
Bed bug detection in blocks of many flats, big hotels and hostels, schools and universities, cruise ships, trains, buses, airplanes and airports is much more time-consuming to be done by a single pest technician. It may take days or even weeks to investigate a big hotel and the costs will be considerably higher and unjustified. As a result, we have developed a one-of-a-kind bed bug detection dog unit that is able to achieve maximum efficiency at lower costs, when it comes to large sites or many rooms to inspect at once.
As members of NASDU, our bed bug sniffer dog units and their SIA qualified dog handlers are able to detect any kind of live infestation with a short notice and same day booking possible (subject to availability). Working in compliance with the highest standards, such as the BS 8517:2-2010, our thoroughly trained dogs detect odours of live infestations and even eggs. The Bed Bug Hunters canine team inspects and detect the presence of any bed bug life stage in an average sized room in under 5 minutes, where a pest technician requires 20-30 minutes or even more.
Success rates of bed bug detection dogs
The bed bug sniffing dog success rates are also unmatched when compared to all other bed bug detection products on the market. Bed bug traps are the least efficient method of all, with less than 20% detection success rate at the early stages of an infestation. A human inspection by an experienced pest technician of the same infestation achieves from 50% to 80% efficiency. This is due to the fact that the bed bug nests could be impossible to see, if located under floorboards, skirting boards, in hollow walls, furniture, and other inaccessible places. Dogs have proven to be more accurate in bed bug detection than people at the early stages of an infestation with 80% to 90% success rate, saving time and money for your business, while carrying out the work with less disruption and less inconvenience.
Bed bug dog detection for the hospitality and transport industries
Proactive inspection of a commercial property in the hospitality or transport industries by bed bug dogs ensures that an infestation is detected on time, before it becomes a more complex and serious problem. For businesses dealing with customers on a regular basis, it is essential that the risk of damaging your good name and reputation is kept at a minimum. Unlike many other pest control companies, we are very discrete, as there are no logos on our vehicles. The Bed Bug Hunters K9 unit is able to quickly and effectively determine which areas require treatment, so that they can be targeted directly with less disruption and cost implications. After the inspection, our pest technicians risk-assesses the property and recommends the best possible treatment method. We offer highly effective insecticide spray treatments, non-toxic methods, as well as combined treatments for maximum efficiency. The technicians are equipped with the most advanced professional products, tools and devices, making sure that the treatments are compliant with the relevant pest legislation in the UK, covering all business standards and personal requirements.
