For those of you who have ever purchased a home, a home inspection is a part of the process you became familiar with. For the person selling the home, the time an inspector spends at the home is particularly nerve-racking, because any defect the inspector finds impacts the potential sale. In a worse-case scenario, a buyer may pull out of the sale altogether if a defect becomes too costly to repair.

Dogs have won the battle of which bed bug inspection method is best, just has dogs had long ago won the battle of which method is best for bomb detection. What our Federal government learned after many years of study, many years of testing alternative detection methods, and many billions of dollars spent, was that a K9 routinely delivered the most accurate results available in establishing the presence of an explosive.
When I receive a call from a potential customer, one of the things I’m told very frequently is, “I think I might have bed bugs.” Not a bed bug, but bed bugs (plural). It’s a natural, commonplace way to describe the issue. Yet, what I’m also asked on occasion is, “It is possible I only have 1 bed bug?” I’ve always felt it’s an excellent question when asked, and a question worth talking about more in detail.
In April of 2010 we decided to purchase a bed bug detecting dog from J&K Canine Academy, which is located in High Springs, Florida, and which is regarded as one of the best scent-detection canine training companies in the country. At the time of our purchase, there were only a handful of bed bug dogs in the tri-state area, and in most instances, these dogs were owned by pest control companies seeking to provide their customers with a better bed bug inspection than the visual ones they were already providing.
It’s been one year since we made the decision to purchase a bed bug detecting dog, and as our re-certification testing has been completed, we’re happy to say our dog Rockie passed with flying colors!
