Termite Detection Dogs & Bed Bug Detection Dogs
Overview of Detection Dogs:
Detection dogs, or "sniffer dogs",
are extensively used by Police and Customs Officials
for the detection of drugs and explosives. You will
often see dogs working in airports with their handler
checking passengers for any illegal items that they
may have in their possession. So it makes sense to use
dogs for the detection of live termites and bed bugs
in buildings. Pest detection dogs are trained the same
way as Police and Customs dogs except that they are
taught to detect the scent of termites rather than the
scent of an illicit substance.
Our detection canines undergo months of intensive training
with our specialist and nationally accredited dog trainers
before being put into service. It is this thorough training
that makes these animals the most efficient and effective
pest detection tool available.

Termite Dogs
Like
other detection dogs, termite detection dogs walk through
a property and pick up the scent of the item they are
trained to find - in our case it is termites. The dogs
hone in on the area of infestation and give the handler
a positive signal that they have detected active termites
in the building by sitting down at the point of termite
activity.
Our Beagles are placid, well
behaved, clean, medium-sized dogs that will not intimidate
you or your family in your home.
Elders Termite Detection Dogs and their Handlers have
passed the requirements to become a Preferred Supplier
to AQIS (Australia Quarantine & Inspection Service).
