Sniff out the bed bugs themselves, or their eggs too? Bed bug eggs are more challenging to eliminate than the bugs themselves, so if the dog missed locations where viable eggs were waiting to hatch, this would mean re-infestation within 6 to 10 days. Pets of all kinds (besides fish in tanks) must be removed from the premises prior to the inspection. The presence of other animals can cause distractions for the dog and affect the accuracy of the inspection.

Since these dogs detect the bugs based on smell rather than sight, they can work much more efficiently than someone peering under every cushion and into every corner. 5. Reveal specific areas of infestation To use bed bug traps effectively, it is crucial to place them in strategic locations where bed bugs are known to travel, such as near the bed legs or along walls. Careful placement and consistent monitoring will help determine the level of bed bug activity and treatment effectiveness.
