Bedbugs are not the kind of parasites you will see crawling during the day or in well-lit areas. These insects hide in places like crevices, wall joints, furniture joints, behind baseboards, on carpet edges, in sofas, and box springs. They may also hide in mattress seams, nightstands, behind pictures and wallpapers, or in bed frames.

Dogs use olfactory sense to smell and detect scents, and they can be able to identify the presence of a single bedbug in one room. It would be difficult for an expert to use visual technique to detect a few bugs in one room. This could take a lot time and effort and considering these bugs hide in hard to reach areas, at times, visual detection may not work at all.

Improper handling of the inspection dogs may even lead to false positives where there are no bedbugs.
