Dogs Find What
Humans Simply Can't
A trained bed bug inspection K-9 will be 95 to 98 percent accurate at finding infestations — even at their earliest stages. A human technician, even a great one, is only 15 to 30 percent accurate at detecting the beginning stages of an infestation.
Our K-9s can detect bed bugs hidden behind walls, inside mattress seams, inside furniture, and in any crevice too small for human inspection. They alert their handler the moment they detect even a single bed bug or egg — before the infestation spreads.
Finds Hidden Infestations
Dogs detect bed bugs behind walls, inside furniture, and in cracks invisible to humans.
Early Detection Saves Money
Finding bugs early means fewer treatments needed and dramatically lower costs.
Pinpoint Accuracy
K-9s lead technicians to the exact location — no guesswork, no unnecessary treatment.
Meet the Dogs
At AIM Pest Control, we train and own our K-9s in-house. These aren't rented dogs — they're part of the family and part of the team.
Molly is a beloved member of the AIM team and one of Sacramento's sharpest bed bug detectors. Incredibly well-behaved in clients' homes — she works quietly room by room and alerts with pinpoint accuracy.
Scout is AIM's field-ready K-9 inspector. Decked out in a working vest and trained to sweep homes with precision, Scout brings serious detection power to every job. Calm under pressure, relentless on the scent — if bed bugs are there, Scout finds them.
Vertically Integrated. Fully In-House.
We don't outsource our K-9 inspections. AIM trains and handles its own dogs — so we control the quality, the training standards, and the care of every animal on our team. That means consistent, reliable results every single time.
How K-9 Detection
Saved a Sacramento Family
A real example of what Molly found — and what happened next.
A Folsom family noticed bites appearing overnight. Two other pest control companies did visual inspections and found nothing — they were told “probably not bed bugs.” Weeks turned into months.
AIM arrived with Molly within 24 hours of the call. She swept every room in under 20 minutes. Within 3 minutes of entering the master bedroom, Molly alerted — pointing precisely at the box spring seam.
Because it was caught early — one isolated area, not yet spread — a single targeted treatment resolved everything. The family slept through the night within days at a fraction of what a full infestation would have cost.
The Lesson: Earlier = Cheaper
Every week a bed bug infestation goes undetected, it can grow by up to 3x in population. A K-9 inspection that catches it at the earliest stage can save you thousands in treatment costs — and months of misery.
