K-9 Bed Bug Inspection ServiceArea Preparation Single Family Homes l Apartments l Condominiums l Townhomes

Dear Homeowner / Resident,

Plunketts will conduct an inspection of your living space using a canine bed bug detection team to determine if odor of live bed bugs is present. (See attached Client Info Bulletin for an explanation of bed bugs and how they can be controlled.)

How We Do ItInspection doesnt take long at all and is minimally intrusive.

The 3 steps in canine bed bug inspection:

Our canine bed bug inspection team, consisting of a handler and bed bug-sniffing dog, will search your living areas to see if the dog detects the scent of live bed bugs and/or viable eggs, discriminating from old infestations that may include dead bugs, fecal spotting, shed skins and non-viable eggs.

Our team will record their findings and provide them to you.

If an infestation is confirmed, Plunketts will provide information on treatment options.

Teamwork... Plunketts + YouIn order to inspect your home successfully, your cooperation is essential. You will be called upon to complete some preparation of the area(s) to be inspected. Failure to prepare in the best possible way will likely result in a less than satisfactory outcome - the postponement or cancellation of your service and more bed bugs!

MORE IMPORTANT INFO!

Due to the sensitivity of the canines respiratory system, a canine inspection cannot take place within 30 days following pesticide applications.

The canine handler may refuse to conduct a search if the necessary preparation steps are not fol-lowed, or if he or she feels that the canines safety is at risk.

Additional fees may apply if it is necessary to schedule a re-inspection due to poor preparation.
