Bed Bug Dog Training Schools St Petersburg

 

If you can train a dog to sniff for gasoline or bodies or drugs or bombs, why not bed bugs?

That's the question some insurance companies posed in 1998 to Bill Whitstine of Safety Harbor, a former fire marshal whose arson dogs often detect accelerants after suspicious fires.

Now he has trained a huge number of dogs to pinpoint the location of bed bugs, an increasing source of problems. Whitstine's dogs are sniffing for insects in at least 30 states and as far away as Canada and Finland, and this spring he'll send some to Japan.
