The success rate of canine bed bug detection is very high. In one study, dogs were able to detect bed bugs with 97% accuracy. This is more accurate than human searches which are much more costly and only offer an accuracy rate of 40%-60%, depending on the size and centralized location of the infestation. Potomac Working Dogs is not responsible for missing or false hits, but we will do everything we can to ensure that our dogs give you an accurate reading. We also encourage customers to contact a remediation company for further actions if bed bugs are detected by our canines.
