First Response Bedbug Dogs are trained to sniff out bed bugs. They can save hours of work, give peace of mind to hotel guests and homeowners, and get to the root of an infestation quickly. The dogs are trained by a professional animal trainer with experience in training animals for search and rescue as well as other law enforcement professions. The dogs have been certified at the highest level possible through their training. The dogs have been reconditioned for use in law enforcement by teaching them that what is rewarded is aggression towards bed bugs but not towards people or other animals. Many are bred specifically for this job because they possess a natural propensity for detecting bed bugs due to their keen sense of smell. A combination of the dogs' experience and training is what makes them most effective at bed bug detection in NYC.
