Are bed bug canines dependable?

The process to becoming a bed bug detection dog can be ruff. In order to become fully certified, canines and their handlers must pass the certification requirement together. If the canine is ever transferred to a new handler, the certification must be passed again as a new team. A single dog cannot be legally certified without a handler, and vice versa. You can trust our canine bed bug inspections are completely reliable with our highly trained team of bed bug canines.
