Canine Bed Bug Detection in Alexandria, VA

Uncovering Hidden Bed Bug Infestations
At Highland, we understand the challenge of detecting elusive bed bugs in Alexandria, VA. That's why we employ highly trained canines to sniff out these pesky critters, providing accurate and reliable bed bug detection services for residents, hotels, hospitals, and various other establishments.
Unleashing the Power of Canine Detection
Dogs possess an extraordinary sense of smell, surpassing human capabilities by thousands of times. Their olfactory prowess has been harnessed across industries, enabling them to detect narcotics, explosives, and even cadavers. In Alexandria, we leverage this incredible sniffing ability to locate bed bugs.
Unparalleled Accuracy in Bed Bug Detection
Identifying severe bed bug infestations may be evident to the naked eye, but detecting bed bug eggs, nymphs, and recent infiltrations is a challenging task. These resilient pests can conceal themselves anywhere within a home. Unfortunately, relying solely on visual inspections limits accuracy to a mere 30%.
That's where our rigorously trained canine detection teams come in. With exceptional precision, they can detect bed bugs at every life stage, from viable eggs to fully grown adults, achieving a remarkable accuracy rate of up to 97%.
