Our K9 Detection Team Has the Best-Trained Nose for Bed Bugs
Our K9s and handlers are trained by professionals who also train Police K9 units in the field of K9 detection. Comprehensive training is provided for each K9, and a high standard of protocols is always followed. The dogs follow the same training as police K9s used in narcotics, explosives, and other K9 olfactory sciences. Our dogs are trained for bed bug detection and they love their job.
The accuracy of our K9 Detection team allows us to move quickly and efficiently, performing comprehensive large-scale operations swiftly and meticulously. If our dogs detect the slightest scent of bed bugs, we visually confirm and show you evidence of the infestation on the spot.
Why Early Detection Matters
Bed bugs can lay up to 5 eggs per day, leading to major infestations in less than six months if left unchecked. Adults are about the size of an apple seed and can easily go undetected in tiny cracks and crevices. Highly trained professionals can only visually detect bed bugs with less than 30% accuracy. Bed bug detection dogs are specifically trained to sniff out the pheromones of live bed bugs and eggs with 90% accuracy.
Our K9 detection services can identify bed bugs even in their earliest stages, allowing for prompt treatment and prevention of widespread infestation.
If you have, or think you might have, a bed bug infestation in your home or commercial space, we invite you to contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Canine Bed Bug Detection
A typical K9 bedbug inspection is much faster than traditional visual inspections, as our trained dogs can cover large areas quickly and efficiently.
- For an average-sized house or apartment, the process typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour.
- Depending on their size and complexity, larger commercial spaces may require more time. For reference, in the hospitality industry, our team can inspect 80 hotel rooms in a single day.
Regular inspections are particularly important for commercial buildings dedicated to the hospitality and healthcare industries to maintain an excellent reputation. For businesses such as hotels, motels, inns, Airbnb, cottages, retirement homes, and student housing, we recommend preventive inspections every three months. For all other types of commercial facilities and residential properties, inspections can be carried out when you suspect the presence of bed bugs in your building.
Yes, our highly trained K9 inspection team can detect both live bed bugs and viable eggs. This allows us to identify infestations at all stages, even before they become visible to the human eye. Early detection of eggs can prevent a full-blown infestation, making our heat treatment process more efficient and cost-effective for our clients.
Absolutely. Our bed bug sniffing dogs have an exceptional ability to detect bed bug scents through various barriers. They can pinpoint the presence of bed bugs behind walls, inside furniture, under floorboards, and within electrical outlets. This is particularly valuable when combined with our bed bug treatment services, as it allows us to target hidden infestations that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Canine inspections are generally more effective than visual inspections by humans for several reasons:
- Accuracy: K9 inspections boast up to 90% accuracy in controlled settings, compared to about 30% for human visual inspections.
- Speed: Dogs can inspect large areas much faster than humans.
- Detection of hidden infestations: Canines can detect bed bugs in places that are not visible or accessible to human inspectors.
- Early detection: Dogs can often detect infestations before they become visible to the human eye.
- Reduced disruption: K9 inspections typically require less disturbance of the environment than thorough human visual inspections.
While we believe in the superiority of canine inspections, at Thermapro Solutions, we often combine K9 inspections with human visual confirmation for the most comprehensive assessment before applying our heat treatment.
