A trained detection dog can pick up the scent of live bed bugs and viable eggs through fabric, trim and narrow cracks. In Los Gatos that helps when a large house has many bedrooms, when a cabin needs a check between guests, or when bites continue with nothing to see.
When a Dog Search Fits
- Bites keep happening but no bug or stain has been found.
- A big house has several bedrooms and a guest suite to cover.
- A rental cabin needs a quick screen before the next booking.
- A condo neighbor has a confirmed case.
- You want a final check once treatment is done.
How the Search Works
- ArrivalOur handler brings a dog trained to alert only on live bugs and viable eggs.
- SweepThe dog works beds, sofas, trim and wall edges one room at a time.
- SignalThe dog stops and points at the exact seam or gap where the scent is strongest.
- ConfirmOur handler looks for physical proof at each alert spot and logs only confirmed finds.
Dog Searches in Los Gatos Homes
Many houses in 95030 and 95032 have 4 or more bedrooms, and a dog can cover them all faster than a person working by hand. Up in 95033, where cabins sit far apart and some are shared by several families, a dog search gives owners a quick answer before the next group arrives.
Preparing for the Dog
- Put your own pets in a room or yard away from the search.
- Skip candles, plug-in fresheners and strong cooking smells that morning.
- Do not use any sprays in the days before the visit.
K9 Inspection FAQ
We have a dog of our own. Will it distract the search?
Keep your dog in a closed room, the yard or the car while we work. Our handler keeps the detection dog focused on the rooms being searched.
The dog alerted on one guest bed. Do we treat the whole house?
Not automatically. The handler confirms each alert by finding visible signs, and we treat the rooms and pieces where bed bugs are verified.
About your request: Bed Bug Control CA is a licensed California bed bug service. A licensed technician comes out to your Los Gatos address to look for signs. Treatment starts only after you approve the written quote.
