Cincinnati Bed Bug Detection Services

Pro Active/Preventative – A proactive approach to the growing bed bug epidemic is the best way to ensure a property remains bed bug free. Monthly or quarterly inspections or “sweeps” are the most effective safeguard to preventing a large-scale infestation. Catching a bed bug problem in its infancy is crucial to eliminating the problem. Prevention it is the most cost effective approach a property owner can take. We recommend inspections for all property acquisitions.

Reactive - When a property owner or a pest control company has confirmed the presence of live bed bugs, our service can pinpoint the problem areas within the facility. Our canine teams’ ability to determine problem areas, can provide your exterminating company the information needed to conduct a more precise and cost-effective treatment plan and minimize the use of pesticides.

Post Treatment – After a pest control company has treated a facility, our service can help to ensure the infestation has been completely eliminated. Our canine will not alert on dead bed bugs.

* To ensure the health of our dog, we must wait 30 days to re-inspect a facility or home if pesticides were used. If heat was used to treat the bed bug infestation, we can do a post treatment inspection that very day.
