Bed bugs don’t discriminate.

Anyone can get bed bugs. They are known for hitch-hiking their way into your home from infested locations by hiding in coats, bags, pockets, etc. Infestations are not limited by economic status or cleanliness, and can be picked up anywhere including:

• Hotels & Motels Theatres Office Buildings Car Seats Suitcases

  Blankets Clothing Mattresses & Bedding Furniture

How can I tell if I have bed bugs?

Before you can treat the problem, you’ll need to confirm that you do have an infestation and bedbug detection can be as tricky as the treatment! Bedbugs are most active at night, and because their bites are painless, you may not realize you’ve been bitten until the following day when symptoms occur. Bedbug bites commonly appear as small red bumps on the skin and may itch or swell (especially with scratching). If you suspect you may have bedbugs, you can do some preliminary inspecting of your mattresses or in crevices around beds, couches and other furniture. However, visual inspections are often unreliable as the bugs can hide behind baseboards, in floor or wall cracks, in outlets, behind picture frames and even wallpaper. These pests can be so elusive and difficult to detect that we recommend professional assistance to determine if you do have an infestation.

What We Do: Scent detection of bed bugs

Canines are currently the most powerful tool to discover the exact location of bedbugs. Bedbugs are experts in hiding which make them difficult to see and treat. The goal of using a scent detection dog is to locate the bed bugs before an infestation gets out of control. Canine scent detection is extremely beneficial when you first see a bite or rash appear, or if you see an unidentified insect in your home or business. We also recommend it before moving into a new residence, and after travel to prevent spreading bedbugs into your home or office. We provide service to hotels, houses, apartments, offices and other businesses in Columbus, OH and the surrounding area. Our proactive services can be especially beneficial for homes with frequent house guests and facilities that are highly traveled. Please see the Proactive page for more details. (Get Proactive)
