There has been a growing trend in pest management towards the use of safer and greener pest management tools, yet bed bugs are often still detected and treated using crude and often dangerous methods. These methods sometimes include treating entire buildings with powerful pesticides or more effective heat treatments. In response to this, leading integrated pest management professionals now employ the use of bed bug dog MA for detection. Detection dogs or "sniffer dogs" have an acute sense of smell and can be trained to detect such substances as bombs, illegal drugs and even bed bugs.
Interestingly, it is very difficult to notice and detect the presence of bugs. Small blood stains on the pillows and bed are some of the common signs which indicate the presence of these parasites. This parasitic bed bug lives on human blood or the blood of warm-blooded animals such as dogs or cats. The bug bite can cause rashes and allergies.
Growing to full size of only 4 to 5 millimeters, the adult version of this parasitic insect is light brown to reddish-brown in color, and is flattened and oval-shaped. It has a segmented abdomen, which gives it a banded appearance. It is commonly mistaken for other insects such as lice or carpet beetles, but they move like ants when they are warm and active. Just like true bugs, the common bed bug also emits a characteristic foul odor when crushed.
Bed bugs easily spread through luggage, clothing, furniture, and upholstery and can be very difficult to kill. Detecting exactly which elements of your home, vehicles, and personal apparel are infested, can considerably reduce the total costs of bed bug management. In addition to the environmental benefits, dogs are often used because they can more accurately pinpoint areas of infestation.
Getting rid of bugs is yet another tough task. One should try their level best to prevent them. You can usually find these pests hiding somewhere in small gaps and cracks on the wall, in the floor etc. Bedding and mattresses are their favorite hide-outs, where they can easily get what they want (i. E. Your blood).
Detection canines have been respected and appreciated in a number of fields in the past, namely law enforcement. They began to receive some public recognition in the field of pest control after a number of high-profile cases in the 2000s. In June 2010 in Canada, a sniffer dog named Kody detected bed bugs in several of the G20 delegates' rooms, earning the new pest control practice some light in the media.
Once detected, the pest control agencies use the appropriate protocols to combat the menace. The other method now used to exterminate these bugs involves application of heat in the areas of the building where bugs are detected.
Consumers more conscious of price than the environment will still appreciate the use of bed bug control dogs. They are currently the only effective detection tool that can pinpoint the sources of the bugs. With this critical information, pest control experts can reduce the cost of treatment by narrowing down the infected area.
