Bed bugs don't discriminate against any establishment.  Nicki and Malamar were tasked to inspect a church for bedbugs as one of the parishioners had had an outbreak of bed bugs at his house. 
Pro-active searches is a sound approach for preventing a potential for a huge bed bug infestation.  And our dogs can even sniff out 1 live bed bug.  So if you want peace of  mind, call us at 508-713-8267 or click here to fill out this form.
 
 
This week, we have been booked solid with jobs in Peabody, Newburyport, Rockport, Chestnut Hill and Needham. 
We were on our way back home past the last Framingham exit on the Pike before 495 yesterday at 3:30 PM when we got a call from a luxury hotel in Boston, asking us to conduct an inspection of 15 floors "now":  bedrooms, housekeepers' carts, trash rooms and the loading dock that still was holding some of the linen carts a truck had recently delivered.  Unfortunately, the hotel got notice a bit late that some of the linen carts may be infested with bed bugs.  They had already distributed the linens to the housekeepers on several floors.  So we had to turn around and conducted the inspection until  late that evening.
Congrats go to our partners, Nicki and Malamar who were very good sports in conducting this search late that day after 2 jobs already performed since the early morning.  They did a fantastic job.  Best employees I ever had!

Malamar taking a nap after a canine bed bug inspection job in Allston today.  A multi-units apartment complex, basically rented out to college students.  Ah! the days of College.  Long gone, so much fun indeed.  But I certainly do not remember living in such disastrous, messy, cluttery, dirty conditions.  Especially the kitchen area. 
Oh well!  Malamar is perfect for this type of inspection job.  She just follows my lead and sniffs out everywhere and everything.  She was not too distracted by a cat that was running loose in one of the units.  Genrally, she would go wild at the sight or smell of a cat.  And another unit has a dog in it.
Kudos to Malamar who just behaved.
 

 
 
Lately we have been doing bed bug dog inspections all over the place in VT, RI, Boston, Newton, Allston, Somerville and we are on the brink of landing a big contract with a well-known, large property management company for repeat business.  Kudos to Nicki and Malamar!
 
 
We arrived at this 2-decker in Somerville.  Very old house, yet very antique and still in good order. 

It turns out that they had been dealing with a bed bug infestation for the past year.  They suspected the previous tenants, who had now vacated the 2nd floor, to have introduced the bed bugs. 

Now this young couple was planning to move in but wanted to make sure that the bed bugs were eradicated.  Malamar  sniffed out the first floor.  What a nice and clean apartment it was.  Malamar had so much fun sniffing out every corner, nook and crannies. 

Next we inspected the 2nd floor.  Then totally unexpectedly, Malamar alerted to an old box in the middle of the living room that contained a bunch of hoses and parts of a steamer unit.

Come to find out, the tenants had been living in New York City last year where they had been using this old steamer and they had just recently moved it into this apartment to use it before settling in.

It is indeed interesting that many an alert is due to people having moved from New York.  Bed bugs are so elusive and such great hitchhikers.
