Hotels, apartments, nursing homes, hospitals, dorms and even bedrooms are susceptible to the bed bug resurgence.
Since 2008 we have inspected over 7,500 units in all types of habitats such as: commercial office, industrial, retail , multi- residential, single residence, assisted living facilities, counseling centers, hotels, and dormitories to name a few. Many of these are repeat customers. We draw upon this experience and ongoing training to create a comprehensive and site specific program for our customers. We do not just locate the problem; we provide a thorough evaluation that enables one to make sound management decisions incorporating an effective treatment program.
With the bed bug resurgence making headlines on a regular basis, standard pest management plans are no longer sufficient for keeping properties bed bug free. Due to bed bugs’ habits of feeding by night and staying hidden by day, thorough inspection is the first key to a quality bed bug control program.
Bed bug detection dogs have proven to be 90% effective in detecting and identifying bed bug infestations, whereas human inspectors are typically only 30-40% effective. Early and accurate detection is crucial in preventing the spread of bed bug infestations as well as minimizing the amount of pesticides and other treatment methods needed, and reducing the overall cost of eliminating the infestation.
CDIS technicians are not only licensed pest control operators, but also have an educational background in environmental biology. Our teams consist of two people, a certified dog handler, a licensed pest control operator and a certified bed bug detection dog. CDIS teams are certified independently from their initial training. Our unbiased and independent certification, combined with our rigorous team training program, insures the highest level of skill, integrity and professionalism in our teams.
The biggest key to a successful canine inspection team is a strong bond between the dog and handler, and the handler’s ability to read and communicate with their canine partner. Daily training sessions of our dog teams are thoroughly documented. Our dogs alert to live bed bugs and viable eggs, giving you -- the client a better picture of who to manage the problem more comprehensively.
