Before we arrive at your home, we ask that you do a few things to create the best environment for the dog to work.

• Remove any pets from the areas that are to be inspected
• Toys of any sort, pet food and water must be non-accessible to the bed bug detection canine
• Noise and human distraction must be minimized
• Air conditioners, heaters, and ceiling fans need to be turned off 30 minutes prior to the dog’s arrival
• Extinguish all smoking materials and remove any air fresheners or lit candles within the home 2 hours prior to in-house inspection

When We Arrive:

You should expect clean, professional, and discreet service.

Inspection: Radar and the handler will arrive on site and begin with a brief inspection to make sure the environment is suitable for the search and that nothing dangerous is available to the dog.

Controlled Hide: Next the dog will search for a hidden vial of live bed bugs to ensure that the dog is working properly and to get the dog excited about working.

Canine Inspection: Then the dog and handler will begin to thoroughly inspect all areas necessary. The handler’s job is to ensure that everything is searched, the dog is on task, and that he stays out of the way and lets the dog work.

Post Inspection Brief: If there is an alert or if there were any areas that could not be searched thoroughly because of debris or locked doors or anything else, it will all be reviewed at the end of the inspection. After the inspection, if anyone would like to pet or socialize with Radar, he will be available.
