With the help of specially trained and certified dogs, Anticimex has identified a new method to deal with the problem. “With a bedbug dog we find 97 per cent of these tricky creatures,” says Håkan Kjellberg, pest expert at Anticimex.

Anticimex collaborates with the only EU-certified company in Scandinavia, Passéra Detection Dogs, which specialises in training dogs to find explosives. Anticimex’s bedbug dogs are trained according to the same EU standards in order to maintain high safety and quality.

“The dog has a superior ability to sense and react to only a hint of an odour, such as the scent of a single bedbug. It reacts immediately, even if there is only a single bedbug in the room,” says Håkan Kjellberg. Bedbug dogs can be used both for prevention and as a final check after bedbug sanitation. This is more efficient and Anticimex can solve the problem more quickly than with targeted interventions.

Rental properties, hotels, student housing and short-term accommodations are examples of environments where bedbug dogs can make a difference. Public buildings such as libraries and cinemas, or trains, buses and airplanes can also be inspected quickly and efficiently using bedbug dogs.
