Description

Canine scent detection lures (four tubes of eight bugs, two tubes of five bugs and two tubes of two bugs), distractor (one tube of khapra beetles) one control lure and a Pseudoscent Kit.

Canine scent detection lures (Box of 4):

These are our most popular canine scent detection training product. Each vial contains up to 8 live bedbugs of different ages and sexes, designed to represent a typical harbourage in an infestation.

These double ventilated acrylic tubes are approximately the same size as an AA battery (45mm long, 12mm diameter).

Each tube is pre-sealed with stainless steel mesh at both ends to minimise the risk of escapees during dog training exercises.

Control Lure:

Control lures are identical to the pre-sealed canine scent detection lures, but without bedbugs. These are essential for training your dog off the odour of the plastic, mesh and other materials used in the training lures.

We also offer a control lure with dead bedbugs. Training with dead bugs allows you to confirm that your dog only hits on live bedbugs, which is important when using your dog to confirm treatment success.

Pseudoscent Kit:

Pseudoscent kits are used to provide the odour of live bedbugs, without the need for actual live bedbugs. This is particularly useful in the early stages of training as it allows the training to present the dog with a strong bedbug odour in the absence of any associated scents (plastic tubes, filter paper etc.).

Each vial contains approx. 40 drops of pheromone solution. To create a hide, one drop is pipetted onto a filter paper strip, which is then transferred to a ventilated vial. After 30-60 mins, when the solvent has completely evaporated, the ventilated vial can be used for scent detection training.
