The mere possibility of a bed bug infestation strikes fear into the hearts of business owners nationwide. These microscopic parasites, masters of concealment, feed exclusively on human and animal blood while causing irritating, itchy welts. Their razor-thin bodies and exceptional hiding abilities make them nearly impossible to detect through conventional visual inspections alone, as they expertly squeeze into fabric seams, tiny cracks, and minuscule crevices throughout commercial facilities.
Orkin’s innovative approach goes far beyond traditional pest control services by deploying specially trained canine detection teams. These remarkable bed bug exterminators can rapidly and accurately identify infestations, providing your local pest control team with the critical intelligence needed to prevent and eliminate these persistent pests from your property.
The Growing Commercial Bed Bug Crisis
While bed bugs primarily target sleeping areas, their presence has expanded dramatically beyond hotels and motels since their resurgence in the 1990s. Today’s commercial pest control professionals report treating infestations in multifamily housing, healthcare facilities, senior living communities, educational institutions, office complexes, dormitories, and even public transportation systems. The recent surge in delayed pandemic travel has experts predicting another significant uptick in bed bug activity across all sectors.
Canine Inspections: The Game-Changing Advantage
Early detection remains the cornerstone of successful bed bug elimination. Orkin’s specially trained detection dogs, working alongside certified pest control specialists, can identify the distinctive scent signatures of bed bugs throughout their entire lifecycle – from eggs to live insects to deceased specimens. This comprehensive detection capability enables our emergency pest control teams to identify and treat infestations before they become overwhelming.
Unmatched Accuracy Through Rigorous Training
The effectiveness of our bed bug treatment program relies heavily on superior training standards. Our canine teams and their human handlers complete an intensive six-to-eight-week certification program overseen by independent third-party organizations. While certain breeds demonstrate natural aptitude, our selection process prioritizes dogs with exceptional work drive and focus. These remarkable animals consistently outperform human-only inspections in speed, efficiency, and accuracy.
The Professional Canine Inspection Process
Our 24 hour pest control inspection protocol follows a systematic five-step approach:
1. Complete facility evacuation allows our trained canines unrestricted access to thoroughly examine all potential hiding spots where bed bugs might establish colonies.
2. The detection dogs utilize their extraordinary olfactory capabilities to identify problems in locations that human inspectors might never consider or access.
3. When canines alert to potential bed bug presence, your certified pest exterminator conducts additional verification to confirm the findings.
4. You receive a comprehensive report detailing the extent and location of any infestations discovered on your property.
5. If treatment becomes necessary, affected areas undergo immediate quarantine and preparation to maximize elimination success rates.
Our rapid pest control service teams then develop customized treatment plans addressing both current infestations and future prevention strategies. Regular monitoring ensures long-term protection and peace of mind.

Canine inspection costs vary depending on facility size and infestation complexity. Contact your local pest control branch for detailed pricing information specific to your situation.
