Bo "nose" termites and bedbugs
Why use canines to detect termites and bed bugs? Human inspectors can't
see through walls or floors and that's many times where pests infiltrate a
structure and cause damage. Termites eat structural wood framing, the paper
on drywall, and any other cellulose material. Bedbugs feed on human blood
and they hide in difficult to reach places that are not in plain sight. Our
scent detection dog may not be able to see these pests either, but he sure
can smell them. A dog's sense of smell is anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000
times keener than that of a human.
Bo is a fox terrier mix who
received his formal training at the Florida K-9 Academy in Tampa Florida. He
has been part of the EnSec team for five years and is the hardest working
employee on the payroll. Bo's favorite pastimes are playing with children,
running around, and pleasing his handler, Dan. He is kept very busy
detecting bed bugs and termites for the company and he has never been known
to be wrong. He is also responsible for providing a clear bill of health to
homes so they can be covered under our termite and bed bug warranties. When
Bo is not working he spends his off time with his
handler and his family
in Cantonment.
