A
trained pest management
professional can only
detect visible signs
of bed bugs and termites
in a room.
To check
if there is activity behind
walls, baseboards or under
carpets, the room would
have to be stripped down
and baseboards pulled away
from the walls. Due to
a dog’s keen sense
of smell, Inspector Kody
can detect bed bugs and
termites behind walls,
making his inspection a
more thorough and accurate
one. More accurate detection
means that if there is
bed bug or termite activity,
Kody will be alert to it
and control measures can
begin.
In Canada, dogs have been
successfully used by the
military and law enforcement
agencies to locate firearms,
ammunition, explosives,
narcotics, missing persons
and accelerants used in
suspected arson cases.
The same training used
for these purposes is now
being used to train dogs
to search for bed bugs
and termites. Kody can
smell through walls, floors
and even underground -
long before humans can
see any visible signs.
Kody can crawl into tight
spaces that human inspectors
cannot. Early detection
can save human discomfort
from bites by detecting
and treating hot spots
before the damage is done.
Kody has undergone more
than 600 hours of training,
demonstrating his ability
and accuracy in detecting
bed bugs and
termites. Kody is a
powerful new weapon against
destructive and
disgusting bed bugs and
termites and
can inspect and locate
the these pests in places
that human inspectors cannot.
He can detect them behind
walls, under floors, beneath
the soil, and otherwise
inaccessible areas of a
home or commercial building.
Once the target insect
is located, Kody performs
what’s called a “passive
alert”, where he
will sit and point to the
infested area.
This is a fantastic advantage
for the real estate buyer
and the business owner/manager
because Kody offers a 90%
accuracy rate, as opposed
to the approximately 30%
accuracy rate of a trained
human inspector - and no
other company can offer
that!
