A detection dog can smell live bed bugs and viable eggs through upholstery, behind baseboards and deep inside narrow cracks. In Roseville this is most useful in large 2-story homes on the west side, in apartment buildings where neighbors share walls, and in any home where bites keep coming without a single bug in sight.
When to Choose a Dog Search
- A visual inspection found nothing, yet bites continue.
- A 1990s house has bedrooms upstairs and down plus a bonus room.
- Family or guests slept in several rooms during a long visit.
- An apartment manager wants the units around a reported case screened.
- You want a clearance check once treatment is complete.

K9 Searches in Roseville Housing
95747 holds about 27,700 housing units, many of them big family homes from the 1990s and 2000s. Checking every seam in 5 or 6 sleeping spots by eye takes hours, while a dog can show which rooms are clear in a single visit. In central Roseville apartment complexes, where units share walls, a dog lets the manager screen the homes around a reported unit quickly.
Prep for the Dog
- Keep pets out of the rooms we will search.
- Skip scented candles, plug-in air fresheners and heavy cooking that day.
- Do not spray any product for several days before the visit.
Questions About K9 Inspections
We have a cat and a dog. Do they need to leave?
They need to stay in a closed room we are not searching, or outside, while we work. Our detection dog stays on a leash with its handler and searches only the planned rooms.
The dog alerted on a sofa in the den. Does the whole house get treated?
No. Our handler inspects every alert for live bugs, eggs or other proof, and treatment goes only to confirmed spots.
