The K9 Advantage!

Scent Detection Dogs use a series of olfactory senses that can differentiate between micro particles that enter the nose. The scent is then broken down into specific identifiable particles which the dog can recognize as Target or Non-Target scent. Training and Discrimination is performed every day to keep the dogs focused on the specific Bed Bug Scent. This type of training teaches the dogs to disregard any scent that is not bed bugs. This repetitious process keeps the dog's skills on the Target insect's scent. There is no tool that is more agile or discriminating than a trained canine.

A dog's sensitivity to odor is 10 to 100 times greater than man's. The average dog has 200 to 250 million scent receptors in its nose compared to a human's 5 million. Dogs can detect the tiniest levels of odors, down to a few parts per billion; and can be trained to discriminate between 10 to 30 odors. Our dogs are only trained on the viable scent of bed bugs nothing else. In rigorous scientific tests conducted by entomologists at the University of Florida in Gainesville, properly trained dogs had a consistent 98% accuracy rate in detecting the presence of live bed bugs and their eggs in various environments.
