As an experienced Nassau County exterminator, I’ve been fairly blessed in my professional endeavors over the years: first, blessed to have the opportunity to work in a family pursuit; second, I’m blessed to have fantastic tools with which to do my job.
Barney sits to indicate the presence of bed bugs.
Right now, I’m especially blessed to have Barney, my detection dog, to help me provide better service for bed bug control in New York. Barney can enter just about any home, hotel, hostel, or apartment and within moments, know whether bed bugs are present. With the utmost professionalism, he sniffs out the pest and calmly sits to indicate he’s found the offending insect’s lair.
I’m simultaneously proud and a little saddened to hold the distinct honor of having a partner with Barney’s talent. Despite their effectiveness, bed bug detection dogs are still relatively uncommon, with only about 100 pest control businesses using detection dogs to sniff out bed bugs. New York City and the nation is seeing an explosive bed bug comeback, and hopefully, that will mean a proportional explosion in the use of these amazing detection animals. Until then, Barney and I will get to as many of them as we can. If you wish to make a bed bug or other pest complaint to New York City government or would like additional information, NYC 311 is a terrific resource.
