Canada’s FIRST and ONLY

Our canines are highly skilled in pin pointing the location of bed bugs. The Bed Bug Tracker was the first in Canada to have a NESDCA certified dog that ONLY alerts to LIVE BED BUGS and VIABLE EGGS.

NESDCA’s objectives National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association (NESDCA):

  • To unite and assist all entomology scent detection canine teams in the training and continued improvement of all Entomology scent detecting work dogs.
  • To establish a working standard for all entomology scent detecting canines, handlers and trainers through an accreditation program.
  • To provide educational material through publications, visual aids and training seminars. ?
  • To improve the image of the entomology scent detecting canine.

The standards that are being utilized by NESDCA are based upon research on canine scent detection conducted by scientists at The University of Florida, Department of Entomology.  This association provides the insurance that the training facilities, training methods, and dog/handler teams have met the high standards set by NESDCA. Training facilities that are NESDCA certified are listed on the NESDCA website.
