Persistent & Constant Monitoring Is Essential To Bed Bug Prevention
The resurgence of the bed bug has the hotel industry scrambling. Harsh pesticides that once eradicated the pest are now outlawed. Less productive chemicals now require exterminators to rely on visual inspections.
A trained pest management professional can only detect visible signs of bed bugs in a room but to check if there is activity behind walls, baseboards or under carpets, the room would have to be stripped down and baseboard pulled away from the walls. Watch a Dog in Action Video
In the case of hotels, if a law suit is initiated by someone allegedly bitten in one of their rooms, the hotel management can show that they have gone the extra mile by bringing in a canine unit and have done their due diligence to ensure their guests are in a pest free environment. Disturbed Guests, negative publicity & costly litigation are just a few reasons canine detection monitoring at the onset is key to avoiding rapid infestation.
Canines can crawl into tight spaces that human inspectors cannot. Early detection can save not only human discomfort from bites but can also avert a potential law suit by detecting and treating hot spots before the damage is done.

Detection is the key, bed bugs can go up to a year between blood feedings. A female only needs to be fertilized once in a lifetime, and laying up to 5 eggs a day, that means an infestation of over 4,000 in just 6 months. Bed Bug Feeding on Human Video
Visual inspections are virtually non-productive given the bed bugs nocturnal and evasive nature. Bed bugs are known to hide in walls and travel to adjacent rooms. There is no higher level of detection than the scent detection canine.
