Canine Pest Control

Sniffing out pests with dogs is not a new concept. You just have to make sure you choose a company that will do it right with highly trained dogs and handlers. Expert rodent control and bed bug detection are two programs we offer – with extreme expertise. We consider our canines to be two more Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies we can pull from to provide a customized plan for your business.

Our rodent detecting dog has earned the Certificate Class Advanced Award from the American Working Terrier Association. Only 9 other terriers in the United States have that certificate! He is also certified by the highly-respected Joe Nick Canine Training for gameness and rodent elimination. Our dog will not only be able to determine where rats are living, but also where they’re eating and traveling. They sniff out active burrows so that our treatments and our technicians are ultra-focused on them. Knowing exactly where the burrows are, helps us create a customized plan to your building. Our dogs are integral into creating that plan because rats can’t hide from these noses.

Canine rat detection is especially good for large facilities, buildings that have a lot of rooms, places where there’s clutter or lots of dumpsters, or where there have been rodents that have been difficult to catch. Don’t know where they’re coming from? Our dogs can sniff that out! Have a few burrows? It’s not a question with our dogs – they will find them all. And once they do, we will create a professional plan to get rid of them for you. That could even mean we could possibly use less rodenticides at your building. It’s just one more way we’re going beyond traditional rodent control services. Get more information about our rat detection and abatement program here.

Bed bugs can find the tiniest of crevices to hide in, making them difficult to detect with the naked eye. Fortunately, their aggregate pheromone odors can’t hide from expert noses like the one on our bed bug sniffing dog. That’s because he is trained daily using live bed bug scent and is even trained and evaluated with more frequency than the national scent detection standards! This good boy and his handler are both highly trained using scientific research principles to give them the highest level of validation at 95-98 percent effectiveness at detecting even just one bed bug during the inspection.

The Waltham Canine Bed Bug Detection Service can be a proactive solution or at the very least, the way to stay in front of an infestation. The training never ends for this pup, either. Continuous training throughout the year ensures that we can help you save money and uphold your reputation as being bed bug-free. Learn more about Waltham Canine Bed Bug Detection Services here.

Catching rats and sniffing out bed bugs with dogs are just two of the ways we’re go beyond traditional pest control methods. Even as the original pest control company in New England, we are still always innovating. That’s the harder working Waltham since 1893. We are going beyond.
