Bed Bug-Sniffing Dogs Pinpoint Pests In Seconds

'K-9 Detectives' Cost Thousands Less Than Exterminators
NEW YORK (CBS) ―

Bed bug infestations have hit epidemic proportions in the tri-state area, so much that earlier this year New York City health officials created a bed bug "task force" after receiving thousands complaints about the microscopic critters. Now there's a new weapon in the fight against bed bugs, and its barking up a storm where the bed bugs bite. Smaller than a poppy seed, beg bugs nest in just about everything – not just beds – which makes it very hard to get rid of them.

Carl Massicott is a professional bed bug fighter who knows the pests are nearly impossible to get rid of. Homeowners, he says, will spend a tens of thousands of dollars to combat them, with no guarantee they'll be gone for good. Massicott has a weapon of a different kind to battle bed bugs. Unlike exterminators, he doesn't use high-tech devices to locate the bugs. Instead, he relies on "Radar," one of the specially-trained bed bug-sniffing dogs called the Advanced K-9 Detectives used to sweep homes, hotel rooms, and apartments. It's Radar's nose, Massicott says, that knows just where to find the nesting bugs. "Radar's found them in telephones, clock radios. We've found them everywhere," he said. "I'm booked for the next month solid."
