Need a Pest Control Expert?

When it comes to finding bed bugs, accuracy is everything. These elusive pests can hide in walls, floors, furniture, and even electrical outlets—making them difficult to locate through visual inspections alone. That’s why A1 Exterminators uses specially trained K-9 bed bug detection dogs to find infestations quickly and precisely.

Why Use K-9 Detection for Bed Bugs?

Highly Accurate – A dog’s sense of smell is up to 100,000 times stronger than a human’s, allowing them to detect even the faintest scent from live bugs or eggs.
Fast & Efficient – K-9 teams can inspect entire rooms in minutes, making them ideal for hotels, multi-unit buildings, and large properties where speed is critical.
Non-Invasive – No need to move heavy furniture, lift carpets, or drill into walls. Our K-9 teams can pinpoint activity without causing damage to your property.

Our handler and detection dog arrive on-site and review your inspection plan.
