Trusted extermination services to keep your home, business, and customers pest-free
When you need to know — fast and for certain — whether bed bugs are present, a trained scent-detection dog is the most efficient tool there is. New York Exterminating’s K-9 inspections find live bed bugs and viable eggs by odor, in the hidden seams and voids a visual check misses, and clear a room in minutes. Inspections are backed by an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) and we are licensed in structural pest control, so detection flows seamlessly into treatment if anything is found.
People often ask whether a dog is really better than a person looking, and the honest answer is that they do different jobs and work best together. A scent-detection dog identifies the odor of live bed bugs and viable eggs, so it can find a tiny, early, hidden infestation deep in furniture joints, baseboards, and wall voids — and clear an unaffected room quickly. A visual inspection depends on actually seeing bugs, shed skins, or fecal spotting, which is slow and unreliable at low levels. Our process pairs them: the dog rapidly pinpoints where to look, and the human handler visually confirms every alert. You get both speed and certainty.
Nowhere needs fast, discreet bed bug answers more than New York. Dense apartment buildings, co-ops, and hotels mean an infestation in one unit threatens the neighbors, and tenants and guests expect privacy and speed. A dog can sweep many rooms in a fraction of the time a visual inspection of each would take, which is why landlords, managing agents, and hospitality operators use K-9 sweeps to catch problems early and verify units after treatment. For travelers and renters, it answers the post-trip or pre-lease question without tearing the place apart.
1. Schedule. We arrange a fast, low-disturbance visit — one unit or many.
2. K-9 sweep. The detection dog works each room and flags the precise locations of live bed bug odor.
3. Handler confirmation. We visually verify every alert so you get a confirmed result, not a guess.
4. Treat & re-inspect. If found, we move directly into a targeted or heat treatment plan and can re-inspect with the dog to confirm it worked.

Minutes per room — a dog clears or flags a space far faster than a visual search.

Yes — we are a licensed treatment provider, so we move straight into a plan and can verify it afterward with the dog.
A trained scent dog can detect live bed bugs and viable eggs by odor in places a person cannot see — deep in seams, voids, furniture joints, and wall cavities — and can clear or flag a room in minutes. Visual inspection relies on finding the bugs, shed skins, or fecal spotting, which is slow and easy to miss at low levels. The two are complementary: the dog narrows the search fast, and a human handler visually confirms the alert.
Because early infestations are tiny and hidden. A handful of bed bugs in a 1,500-square-foot apartment can take a person hours to find — if they find them at all. A scent-detection dog works the room quickly and pinpoints exactly where to confirm, which means earlier detection, less disruption, and treatment focused on the right spot instead of the whole unit.
No. It is fast, low-disturbance, and chemical-free — the dog and handler simply work the room while you keep furniture in place. There is no tearing apart of the space and no pesticide used during detection. It is one of the least invasive ways to answer the question “do I have bed bugs?”
Whenever you need a confident answer: after travel or a hotel stay, before signing a lease or buying furniture, when you have unexplained bites but no confirmed bugs, after a neighbor reports an infestation, or to verify a unit is clear after treatment. Property managers and landlords also use routine K-9 sweeps to catch problems early across multiple units.
The handler visually confirms the alert, and because we are a licensed treatment provider, we can move straight into a treatment plan — targeted or heat — without you having to start over with another company. We can also re-inspect with the dog afterward to verify the treatment worked.
Yes. K-9 detection is ideal for multi-unit and hospitality settings where you need to check many rooms quickly and discreetly. We service apartment buildings, co-ops, condos, hotels, and managed portfolios across the five boroughs, and provide documentation of what was inspected and found.
