"...dogs were 95 percent accurate in detecting the smell of bedbugs if trained correctly.." - Our precious dog Nemo eats flying, creeping, stinging insects that come close, outdoors or in.
40 years ago, at a friend's house, we were stung by bedbugs. Everyone else had ordinary bites; I was allergic to them, so my bite caused massive swelling from my elbow to my hand & I had to go to Emergency for a needle. I might be the first to know if someone brings a bug in here, but I'm counting on Nemo.
"Purchasing fully-trained dogs for a service like this can cost between $7,000 and $10,000 each. Instead, Jeremy Hunter has trained the dogs himself, spending at least 400 hours with each one." - Nemo trained himself, to eat bugs, stamp out cig. butts & roll on fire; he also has other "stealth ops tricks".
