NJ Pest Control Company Uses Dog as Bedbug Detector Bedbugs here,
bedbugs there, bedbugs
everywhere in the news these
days: planes, theatres, and
office buildings. No place
is seemingly immune. But KYW’s Mike Dougherty reports that some companies now are fighting the six-legged problem with a four-legged solution./p> (Dog
handler:) “Seek, seek,
seek.” (Rex gets a satisfying scratch from handler Steven Rozek.) The creepy,
crawly pests can’t escape
Rex’s nose. He’s one of
three specially trained and
certified bedbug-sniffing
dogs used by Toms
River-based Action Pest Control. Handler
Steven Rozek says Rex is
98-percent accurate: “He can get
up to two inches. If it’s in
the front of the couch, he’s
definitely going to find it
in the front of the couch.
He’s going to put his nose
right there.” Michael Russell, with Action, says Rex doesn’t know he’s working: “They
consider it fun. In fact,
all these dogs are rescue
dogs. These dogs are chosen
because maybe they were
ripping up carpet at home or
tearing up somebody’s house.
These dogs just simply need
a job to do.” Rex can scour a one-bedroom apartment in about two minutes. (Photo by KYW’s Mike Dougherty) |

Unhappy tenants, the loss of income and the expenditure of Bed Bug Control are on the rise for Property Managers.

The Effective Use of Bed Bug
Dogs
There is no ABSOLUTE in the detection of Bed
Bugs to date. The closest to an ABSOLUTE can be found in the recent arrival of
the Certified BB Dog. At a detection rate of 98%, the Certified Bed Bug Dog’s
effectiveness yields but a 2% margin of error, one easily eradicated by the
Action Pest Control Team’s credo of 100% satisfaction. This means effectively:
We ABSOLUTELY guarantee our
work.
Why DOGS?
• If they are trusted by the FBI to search for drugs above all else.
• If they are trusted by the FBI to search for bombs.
• If they are trusted to find the lost and
wounded, dead or alive, drowned or buried, can follow a scent through the
rain, in a car, in a boat over miles and miles.
??..do you honestly think your Bed Bugs are
going to get away?
As of late there have been many changes in the
world of Bed Bug detection and eradication, and the introduction of properly
executed Canine Scent Detection techniques (BED BUG DOGS) have proven to be the
leaders of the pack.
Anyone who has ever owned a dog, no matter how
small or large, well behaved or mischievous, can appreciate the ability of the
canine to detect above and beyond many human senses: be it taste, scent or
sound. How often have you found your dog taking YOU for a walk as he pulled you
in a different direction? How about when he would not listen while
concentrating on an unnamed, unseen substance or trail that caused you to pull
him back?
Now employ this rationale to a greater degree,
and train that same dog to listen, smell, taste, and find ONLY the source of
anything you want?. . .innocent victims, children lost to us, murderers and thieves
unknown, drugs, bombs: why, even thirty feet of water cannot keep a trained dog
with a proper handler from finding what he is after.
At Action Termite and Pest Control, our dogs
have been trained by the best in the field to be hard workers and friend to
man. A true BB Dog must be trained daily, kept active and healthy, and be
constantly aware of his/her objectives. ACTION is consistent in all such
respects.
Certified Bed Bug Dogs Sarah and Rex are not
pets, they are an invaluable part of the Action Team, and as such are treated
with the love and respect they deserve. Amazingly, they seem unerringly eager to
do their jobs, finding an obvious sense of gratification in what they do, all
the while needing only the praise and love of the handlers to fuel them forward.
Goodnight, Don't Let the
Bedbugs Bite
KYW's Michelle Durham spoke to
John Russell, general manager of Action Termite and Pest Control

them.

Bed Bug Control Methods by Action Termite and Pest Control.
Bed Bug Dog detecting bed bugs in New York
See Sara, Action's Bed Bug Dog locate an infestation in New York.
ACCURATE PROVEN TRUSTED A trained
professional inspector will only detect visible signs of bed bugs in
a room with an accuracy rate of only about 30%. To find activity
inside walls, baseboards, even under carpets, a room would have to
otherwise be stripped down beyond the bare walls!
Due to a dog’s
keen sense of smell, our trained dog can detect bed bugs even inside
walls - with 90% accuracy, making his inspection a more thorough and
accurate one. A more accurate detection means that if there is bed
bug activity, our dog will be alerted to it and control measures can
begin.
Also note, no preps are needed prior to the dog.
You've heard of Bomb dogs? Drug dogs? Arson
dogs? Now, Man's Best Friend is the latest weapon in the war on
bedbugs.
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.
"Man’s best friend" has been used for years by
military and law enforcement agencies to detect bombs and drugs, among
other things.
| According to a
report prepared by the Institute for Biological Detection
Systems (IBDS) of Auburn University (Auburn, AL), dogs have
the following capabilities: |
|
 |
Sensitivity: Documented limits of olfactory detection for the dog range from tens of parts per billion to 500 parts per trillion. |
|
Discrimination: Dogs are extremely good at discriminating a target vapor from non-target vapors that are also present, even at relatively high concentrations of non-target odors. |
|
Odor Signatures: When being trained to detect a substance, dogs learn to alert to one or two of its most abundant vapor compounds. |
|
Multiple Odor Discriminations: Dogs can easily learn as many as ten odor discriminations. |
Take a closer look at the Bedbug Dog...
|
From a single drop of urine, the sniffing dog learns the marking animal’s sex, diet, health, emotional state, and even whether it’s dominant or submissive, friend or foe. |
|
Tracking dogs follow a biochemical trail of dead skin cells, sweat, odor molecules, and gasses. |
|
For dogs, a scent article is like a three-dimensional “odor image” - much more detailed than a photograph is for a person. |
|
Dogs can track a scent through snow, air, mud, water, and even ash. |
|
The properly trained and certified detection dog is recognized in court as a "scientific instrument" (US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals) |
