Bed Bug Detection on the Causeway Coast

The Causeway Coast is one of Northern Ireland’s most popular tourism destinations, attracting visitors to hotels, guesthouses and holiday accommodation throughout the year.

With large numbers of visitors arriving from different locations, accommodation providers face an increased risk of bed bugs being introduced through luggage and travel.

Elite Detections provides canine bed bug detection services across the Causeway Coast, helping accommodation providers identify infestations quickly and protect their guests.

Bed bugs often spread through travel. Guests can unknowingly transport bed bugs in suitcases or personal belongings, introducing them into new locations.

Because tourism areas experience constant guest turnover, infestations can spread quickly between rooms if not identified early.

Our trained bed bug detection dogs are able to identify the scent of live bed bugs and viable eggs.

The dog and handler inspect the room systematically, checking common hiding areas such as mattresses, bed frames, furniture and skirting boards.

When bed bugs are detected, the dog alerts the handler so the location can be confirmed through a visual inspection.

• Hotels and guesthouses

• Serviced apartments
• Property management companies
