Gloucester County's growing rental market and proximity to Philadelphia create consistent bed bug introduction through commuter traffic and secondhand furniture. Our certified team serves Westville and all of Gloucester County with k-9 bed bug detection — fast response, professional results.
K-9 detection is 98% accurate — far faster and more reliable than visual inspection alone.
Westville's mix of single-family homes and older multi-unit properties along Haddonfield Road and throughout the residential core creates multiple entry points for bed bugs, particularly in the borough's aging housing stock built before 1980. The proximity to transit corridors and the borough's role as an affordable alternative to nearby Cherry Hill means rental properties see higher turnover, increasing pest introduction risks.
Westville is predominantly characterized by single-family Colonial and Cape Cod homes built mid-20th century, interspersed with small multi-family rental units and older apartment buildings.

We stand behind our work. Retreatment included if bed bugs return within the warranty period.
In Westville's older multi-unit buildings, bed bugs move between adjacent and stacked units through wall cavities, electrical outlets, and shared plumbing chases—especially in properties with minimal updates to fire-blocking materials. If you discover bed bugs, notify your landlord immediately in writing and request a professional inspection; New Jersey law holds landlords responsible for pest control in rental properties. Document everything with photos and keep records of all communications. Avoid moving infested items to other units or rooms, as this spreads the problem. Early detection in these connected buildings is critical because treating one unit without addressing neighboring spaces often leads to reinfestation within weeks.
Properly trained K-9 teams achieve 97–98% accuracy in scientific studies — far higher than visual inspection alone. Our dogs are certified to detect live bed bugs and viable eggs, not dead bugs or cast skins, which eliminates false positives from previous cleared infestations.
The handler guides the dog through each room in a systematic pattern. The dog alerts (sits or freezes) when it detects the scent of live bed bugs. The handler then marks the location for visual confirmation. A full K-9 inspection takes 20–40 minutes for most apartments.
For detection purposes, yes. K-9 dogs can find bed bugs inside walls, behind outlet covers, inside electronics, and deep in mattress cores where visual inspection cannot reach. K-9 is especially valuable for confirming clearance after treatment.
K-9 is ideal for: confirming clearance after treatment, pre-purchase property inspections, large facilities (hotels, apartments, shelters) where speed matters, and any situation where you need maximum confidence in a negative result.
Travel is the leading cause of bed bug introductions in suburban Gloucester County homes. Check luggage in the garage or outside before bringing it in, and run all clothing through a high-heat dryer cycle right away. If you're seeing bites or live bugs in your bedroom, schedule a professional inspection rather than trying DIY sprays, which rarely eliminate an established infestation.
New Jersey requires landlords to address bed bug infestations promptly and to disclose known infestations to new tenants. When you receive a complaint, respond in writing and schedule a professional inspection within a few days. If the unit was recently vacated, inspect before placing new tenants to avoid moving someone into an active infestation.
Bed bugs don't require recent travel to enter a home. They're commonly introduced through used furniture, guests who have unknowingly been exposed, or items purchased at estate sales or thrift shops. In growing suburban markets like Gloucester County, secondhand upholstered furniture is a frequent culprit. If you notice bites or find any signs, a professional inspection can quickly tell you whether you have an active problem.
