labrador Retriever, The Latest Weapon On Bed Bugs.

[Franky]

It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful dogs are to humanity and how helpful they really are to us. Dogs help us with the police, they help us find lost people, they help the blind, they make great pets and all they ask for is some food and some love.

For the dog lovers and animal lovers in general, here is an interesting news article on dogs utilized in finding bedbugs.



Bed bugs don't discriminate by age, race, or income, and they love to hitch a ride to your home on your clothes or your luggage when you travel. Hershey can find them once they're there, but experts say an ounce of prevention is worth a hound of cure. Montgomery added, "Just be aware you could come in contact with bed bugs, because in a place like Cincinnati, they're everywhere."

Not every dog is suited to sniffing out bed bugs. Montgomery says labs have noses that can pick up scents in the parts per trillion, sensitive enough to tell the living bed bugs from the dead.

Hi Franky,

I'm taking my daughter on a week long trip to Virginia and Wash, DC this Saturday. I think I will get some "bug-arrest" when we land so that I can spray down the beds in the hotels we stay in.

Thank you for the reminder.

Itwl,
