Hey NJ and NYC residents, do you have bed bugs? If you think you have the odious insects in your house or apartment unit but can’t locate all their hiding places ask a bed bug sniffing dog and his human partner to come over an investigate. Properly trained bed bug sniffing dogs can be amazingly accurate. They can smell bed bugs under floorboards, hiding in furniture, behind baseboards and just about everywhere the little critters are hiding. These bed bug sniffing canines are in demand for inspections in homes, apartment buildings, hotels, nursing homes and other places where humans hang out.

In tests done by the University of Florida in Gainesville, properly trained bed bug sniffing dogs had a consistent 98% accuracy rate in detecting the presence of live bed bugs and their eggs in a variety of environments.

If you decide to have a pooch over to sniff around for bed bugs find out about the dog’s credentials. Stern Environmental’s bed bug sniffing dogs are trained and also certified by the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association. The association was created to develop and set national training and certification standards for our heroes the bed bug sniffing dogs and their human handlers and trainers.
