Our scent dog can smell live bed bugs and their viable eggs through sofa cushions, behind baseboard trim and inside thin wall cracks. In Chino Hills that helps most in large two story homes with many bedrooms, on ranch lots with a trailer or casita to screen, and in homes where someone has bites but nobody can find a bug.
When a Dog Search Is Worth It
- Bites keep coming but the beds look clean.
- The house has a loft, a bonus room or a guest suite to clear.
- A living quarters trailer or barn apartment sits on the property.
- A neighbor across a shared townhome wall has a confirmed case.
- You want a final check after treatment.

- ConfirmThe handler looks at each alert and records only confirmed finds.
Dog Searches Across Chino Hills
Village houses near the Civic Center, canyon homes along Carbon Canyon Road and acreage lots off English Road are laid out very differently. A dog can cover a large house and a separate trailer in one visit, so treatment goes only where bugs are confirmed and you do not pay to treat clean rooms.
Getting Ready for the Search
- Keep your own dogs and cats in a closed room or out of the house.
- Skip candles, plug in air fresheners and strong cleaners on the day.
- Do not spray anything for several days before the visit.
K9 Inspection Questions
Will the dog be distracted by our horses or our own dogs?
Detection dogs are trained to work around other animals, but we ask you to keep your pets inside a closed room or away from the area during the search. Horses can stay in their stalls. We search the people spaces, not the stalls.
Does the dog find old, dead bugs?
No. The dogs are trained on live bed bugs and viable eggs. The handler checks every alert by eye, and only confirmed finds go into your report.
