Meet our hunters, Scout and Sherlock

Our beagle bed bug sniffing hunters, Scout and Sherlock, have been trained to specifically detect the presence of odor of live bed bugs and viable bed bug eggs.

Beagles are recognized as the best breed of dog for scent detection. Scout and Sherlock hunt with their noses, rather than vision, and they're able to detect as little as one adult bed bug.

Scout and Sherlock are trained using the same protocols that law enforcement uses to train narcotic, explosive, tracking, and search and rescue dogs. 

What does this mean for you, the consumer? Simply that Scout and Sherlock are NOT going to alert on dead bugs, empty egg shells, fecal matter and cast skins. As part of our on-going training and quality assurance program, Scout and Sherlock detect live bed bugs and viable bed bug eggs daily! Because they detect by smell, rather than vision, they are able to detect as little as one adult bed bug.

Both Scout and Sherlock have been scientifically trained by the J & K Canine Academy in conjunction with staff entomologists at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.
