The Common Protocol

The setting changes. The method does not.

A hotel floor and a one-bedroom condo are different jobs in scale and scheduling, not in method. Every bed bug detection service on this page runs the same four steps, and the differences between the pages above are about access, discretion and reporting rather than about how the search is done.

A certified handler and a working canine cover the space on a set pattern, low to high, along seams, joins and harbourage points rather than across open surfaces. The dog is trained on the scent of live bed bugs and viable eggs, not on shed skins or old debris, which is why a clear result after a treatment means something. If you want the detail, how dogs detect bed bugs goes through the scent work properly.

Every alert is confirmed by visual inspection before it is recorded. An alert and a confirmed finding are different things and they appear differently in the report, because a document that blurs the two is worth nothing in a dispute. Where an alert cannot be confirmed visually, the report says so and says where.

You get a written report the same day, naming every area covered and every location an alert was called. It is written to be handed to a pest control operator, a landlord, an insurer or an adjudicator without translation. What happens during a canine bed bug inspection walks through a visit start to finish.

We do not treat, sell treatment, or take a referral fee on one. That is the whole basis of the post-treatment verification service, and it is the reason a Halo report carries weight when the question is whether somebody else's work succeeded.

Which One Do You Need

Most people arrive here from one of four situations, and the right service follows from which one you are in rather than from the type of building you own.

You think you have them. Bites, marks on a mattress, or something you cannot identify. That is a residential or commercial inspection depending on the space, and the useful output is a yes or no with locations. Bites are not reliable evidence on their own, which is usually the reason people end up booking.

Somebody told you they have them. A tenant, a guest or a resident reported. The question is no longer whether that unit has them, it is how many others do. That is a property management, hotel or retirement home sweep, and the scope is the reported unit plus the ones either side, above and below.

A treatment has happened. You need to know whether it worked, two to three weeks after, from someone who did not do the treatment and does not get paid to come back. That is post-treatment verification.

Nothing has happened and you want it kept that way. Scheduled sweeps on a cycle, which is how hotels, retirement residences and larger property portfolios use us. Finding one unit early is the cheapest version of this problem there is.
