Meet Scout, Your Bed Bug Detective

Scout is IBBA's specially trained and NESDCA certified bed bug detection dog. He's a beloved member of our team and an expert at finding bed bugs where human eyes can't see.

With over 300 million scent receptors (compared to just 5 million in humans), Scout can detect even the smallest infestations — including live bed bugs, eggs, and larvae hidden deep in mattresses, walls, and furniture.

What Is a K9 Bed Bug Inspection?

The fastest, most accurate way to detect bed bugs in your home or business.

A K9 bed bug inspection uses a specially trained detection dog to sniff out bed bugs and their eggs. Dogs have been used for decades to detect everything from drugs to explosives — and bed bugs are no different.

Scout has been trained by Iron Heart Dog Trainers and certified by NESDCA (National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association) to detect even the smallest bed bug infestations with 97% accuracy — far higher than the 30% accuracy rate of visual inspections by humans.

During the inspection, Scout systematically searches each room, sniffing beds, furniture, baseboards, and other common hiding spots. When he detects bed bugs, he alerts his handler by sitting or pawing at the location. The entire process takes just minutes per room.
