There are generally six steps to IPM:
- Identify the pest

K-9 bed bug detection services can be an important factor in your Integrated Pest Management Plan. The key to bed bug eradication is with proper identification and location. We can identify the existence of live bed bugs before and after treatment. Our dogs, through scent, will search where technicians can not. Trained dogs can detect pests without moving or disassembling equipment. They can also search without disturbing electronics, walls, furniture, carpets, electrical outlets, storage boxes, etc. We can also search large areas quickly and efficiently.
