PRICING

Prior to all inspections being performed, the customer needs to prepare the search area per the Pre-Inspection Checklist at the bottom of this page. Also, in order to keep his nose from being damaged, the bed bug detection canine will not be able to inspect any areas that have been chemically treated within 30 days. This includes any chemical treatments done by the homeowner and/or a pest control company. However, if the search area was heat treated, the handler team would be able to inspect that area within 24 hours of the treatment.

Pre-Inspection Checklist

Please read the checklist below and prepare your search areas accordingly before the arrival of the handler team. This checklist will be reviewed prior to the commencement of any searches.

The canine handler will first assess the areas to be searched.

Any pets and litter boxes need to be removed to an area not involved in the search.

The handler team will not move items during their inspection and will search the premises "as is". If there is a specific area/item you want searched, it needs to fully accessible upon our arrival.

Toys of any sort, pet food, human food, water and all medications can not be accessible to the bed bug detection canine.

Noise and human distraction must be minimized to create the most effective search environment for the handler team.

Air conditioners, heaters and all fans must be turned off 30 minutes prior to the handler team's arrival. All windows need to be closed as well.

Extinguish all smoking materials within the home 2 hours prior to the inspection. This includes any air freshener products such as plug-ins.

In order to keep the dog focused on the job at hand, any socializing must wait until after the search is complete.

Once the above conditions are met, the bed bug detection canine will perform at its' highest possible accuracy rate. However, if the handler deems the search area to be hazardous to the canine, Buckeye Bed Bug Detection reserves the right not to search the area in question.
