Iron Heart trains its bed bug detection dogs to specifically locate bed bug infestations with a higher level of accuracy than human beings and in much less time. In just a few minutes, an Iron Heart bed bug detection dog can locate bed bug infestations that are invisible to the eye.

Why Worry About Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are bloodsucking pests that cause itching misery far out of proportion to their tiny size. They lurk in tiny crevices and cracks invisible to the naked eye (but not to the trained senses of bed bug detection dogs!). In the dark, bed bugs seek out the warmth of their victims and drop down on their skin. Sinking their feeding tubes into their unsuspecting victims, they feed on blood for five minutes before becoming satiated. Because of the anesthetic the bed bugs inject, it is only hours, or even days, later that their victim feels the intense itching and sees the welts caused by the bites -- sometimes several from one feeding bed bug if the bed bug was disturbed while feeding or if it was trying to find a vein.
The Bed Bug Epidemic
Many people are surprised to hear about a bed bug epidemic in the United States in the 21st century. Bed bugs were a pest of the past, almost eradicated in the mid-20th century.
However, thanks to increased international travel, bed bugs were able to hitch rides in luggage, clothes, and laptops to find new homes and new victims to feed on in U.S. cities, hotels, hospitals, and houses.
According to one pest control organization, calls about bed bugs were up 71%. Another pest control organization reported that 25% of the hotels surveyed had bed bug infestations.
With bed bug infestations increasing in epidemic proportions, pest control professionals need to be prepared to handle the new calls for service -- and new ways to handle a different type of problem. A bed bug detection dog can locate infestations of the tiny bugs more quickly and accurately than a human being can, bringing gratitude and praise from suffering or concerned customers.
The High Cost of Ignoring Bed Bugs

Victim suffering from bed bug bites

In addition to the intense itching, bed bug bites can cause allergic reactions and nausea, insomnia and anxiety (from worrying about bed bugs), skin infections, and scarring.
Commercial facilities are at risk of litigation if they don't address the possibility of a bed bug infestation. In 2003, Burl and Desiree Mathias, a brother and sister staying at a Motel 6 in Chicago were awarded $372,000 in punitive damages and $10,000 in actual damages after being bitten by bedbugs during their stay.
As much risk and misery as bed bugs bring, they are almost impossible for human beings to see and locate without professional help. And missing even one female bed bug or bed bug eggs can result in new infestation of thousands of bed bugs in a very short time. With so much at stake, the only way to be sure that you have completely eliminated the infestation is to use professional help -- trained bed bug detection dogs that can locate the pests and their eggs so that they can be destroyed.
Bed Bug Detection Dogs to the Rescue
Bed bugs can hide not only in beds, but in toys, couches, wicker furniture, telephones, laptops, fire alarms, under flooring, piles of papers, lighting fixtures. With their small, flat bodies, they slip into the tiniest crack -- places human beings wouldn't even think to look -- and even if they did they wouldn't find them all. So who can detect all these bloodsucking pests?
A trained bed bug detection dog can locate bed bugs wherever they hide through the same sense of smell that allows other detection dogs to locate drugs, explosives, and mold by scent. And a bed bug detection dog can locate infestations more quickly and accurately than human beings, saving money and time for large facilities like hotels or apartment buildings -- and saving misery for everyone, even the suffering homeowner.
The bed bug detection dog is brought in and does a "sweep" through the location. When the bed bug detection dog detects the scent of bed bugs where they are hiding, it goes on alert, so that a pest control professional can eliminate the bed bug infestation.
Ironheart High Performance Dogs is proud to offer trained bed bug detection dogs to pest control professionals and others who need to be certain that they are offering the best in bed bug detection services to their clients.
