Why Use A Bed Bug Dog?
Proactive
Regular sweeps for bed bugs by Round The Clocks trained,
and certied bed bug canine team will greatly decrease the
risk of population and insure that the infestation will be
found early. Pro active inspections exhibit your due
diligence in preventing bed bugs with in your establishment
and if needed you will have documentation to avoid
negative publicity and litigation.
Cutting -Edge Technology
Cainines have been used successfully for years as bomb dogs,
drug dogs, and arson dogs. Now mans best friend is the
latest weapon in the war on bed bugs. Certied bed bug
dogs generate quicker and more accurate results. Dogs are
extremely good at discriminating a target vapor, from
non-target vapors that are present, even at relatively high
concentrations on non-target odors. A dogs nose can detect
scent particles in parts per trillion; thats a million times more
sensitive than a human!
Cost Eective
Traditional bed bug detection methods can be very time
consuming and labor intensive. Bed bug detection dogs
generate quicker and more accurate results which lead to
lower remediation costs. The bed bug canine can search the
average hotel room in less than 2 minutes with over 90%
accuracy. Often people needlessly discard furniture and
belongings for fear they may be harbouring bed bugs, or
treat an "entire" home without truly knowing where the
bugs are hiding.
Peace Of Mind
Research supports that if a dog alerts, there is a high statistical
probability that bed bugs are present. The accuracy of a
human technician nding a bed bug infestation is approximately
30%, that leaves a 70% chance that a "clean room" is
actually infested. If the dog does not alert you can know
with greater certainty that you are bed bug free. A canine is
the most accurate method of detecting bed bugs available
today.

Why Are They Back?
Bed bugs never really left. They are common in
many nations around the world. We are seeing
a resurgence in North America for several reasons;
- Reduced use of pesticides
- Target specic pesticides
- Increase in global travel
- Second hand furniture
How Do You Get Them?
Bed bugs do not cling to people but they can
accidentally get caught up in our belongings.
Because bed bugs readily hide in small crevices, they
may accompany (as stowaways) in luggage,
furniture,clothing, pillows, boxes, and other such
objects. From there they can be introduced into a
home, hotel, o-ce, hospital, or any other buildings
as well as modes of transportation.
Sanitation is not a factor in whether you get bed
bugs or not.
How Do They Spread?
Once established, bed bugs tend to stay put but
can spread due to any of the following;
- Being disturbed (i.e. disassembling furniture or
incorrect pesticide application)
- A food shortage (i.e. no host) may cause
them to migrate to neighboring rooms
- A shortage of harborage spaces may cause
them to migrate to neighboring rooms
- Infested furniture dragged down a hall
- Vacuum cleaners used for multiple rooms
- Communal laundry machines
Can I Prevent Them?
There is no way to prevent bed bugs entirely;
however, experts agree that early detection is
the best way to prevent them from establishing
themselves.
A bed bug dog is your best tool for early detection.
Do They Bite?
Yes, all bed bugs bite. They feed on blood every
3 days when a host is present. If a host is absent
bed bugs can go gdormanth for up to a year.
What Do Bites Look Like?
Everyone reacts di@erently to bed bug bites but
the typical reaction is small, red, raised, itchy
bumps.
It is important to note that roughly 70% of people
do not react to bed bug bites.
People can also experience a delay from the time
they were bitten to the time it takes to react. This
means you may not react to bites received the
previous week until after you have returned home
Do They Carry Diseases?
Bed bugs can carry up to 28 human pathogens
(disease causing agents). However, all studies
conducted to date indicate that there is no evidence
to suggest that bed bugs are capable of transferring
disease from one person to another.
What Do They Look Like?
- Oval shaped and at -Six legs
- Two antennae -Cannot y
- Short, golden body hair
Nymph Adult
-Clear to yellow color -Reddish brown color
-1-4mm long -5-6mm long
Where Do They Hide?
Bed bugs can hide just about anywhere; this is what
makes detecting them so di-cult. Typical hiding
places are;
- Mattress seams - Behind pictures
- Box springs - In curtains
- Behind headbords - Behind baseboards
- Bed frames - Sofas
- Night stands - Along carpet edges
