Hotels, motels, hospitals, long term health care facilities and homeowners can now benefit from the extremely accurate detection of bed bugs that only a bed-bug detection dog can offer! Traditional bedbug detection methods can be very time consuming and labor intensive. Certified Bedbug Dogs generate quicker and more accurate results. For example, the bedbug canine can search the average hotel room in less than two minutes.
 The resurgence of the bed bug has the HOTEL INDUSTRY SCRAMBLING — Harsh pesticides that once eradicated the pest are now outlawed.
A trained pest management professional can only detect visible signs of bedbugs 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.
Visual inspections are virtually non-productive given the bed bugs nocturnal and evasive nature. Bedbugs are known to hide in walls and travel to adjacent rooms. There is no technology available that is more sensitive than the canine’s trained nose.
Why Should a Hotel Use a BEDBUG DOG?
It SAVES MONEY—Our trained K-9’s locate the source of the bedbugs. This means that pest control is only needed in specified rooms. This keeps more rooms full of your valued guest. Regular scheduled inspections are the most cost effective way to quickly and accurately keep your hotel bedbug free. 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.
Protection from FRAUDULENT CLAIMS—Regular inspections may greatly reduce the “negligence claim” a guest could assert. “The properly trained and certified detection dog is recognized in court as a “scientific instrument” (US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals), combined with our experienced K-9 handlers, we stand behind our services!
All inspections and reports are held strictly CONFIDENTIAL. Canine Scent Investigations will not disclose any information to outside sources.

Bedbug Facts
 Bedbugs are small, brownish flat bugs that feed only on the blood of humans and animals. They are roughly the size of a ladybug, with small eyes and large antennae. They can not fly, but move quickly over floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces.
The most common type of bedbug that bites human is the Cimex Lectularius. It is found in North America, Europe and Central Asia. They are not known to transmit any diseases to humans.
Bedbugs normally bite you while you are sleeping. They get to your blood by piercing the skin and injecting a salivary fluid that causes your blood to flow easier (an anticoagulant) and also anesthetizes your skin, so you won't feel the sting. Click here to see a bed bug feeding on a human.
It is that saliva (or rather, the proteinsinthe saliva) that causes an allergic reaction in most people. The reaction causes redness, swelling, inflammation, and most of all, itchiness around the area of each bite. The redness looks different on different people, and the can even vary in appearance depending on the location of the bite on your body.It might look like amosquito bite, or a large red welt, or something in-between.
