Green Dog’s day to day operations predominately revolve around bed bug detection. In 2021 we will be offering more detection services than ever. Our bed bug teams in Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Los Angles, Orange County and San Diego California continue to grow and operate as normal. We are also branching out in new areas of canine scent detection services.
New K9 team members will be searching for insects affecting agricultural markets including those in the suborder Anthonomus eugenii as well as Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale. The use of K9 scent detection teams to locate damaging insects to agricultural or medical crops is extremely valuable. Organic crops are extremely limited by what can be applied and ravenous insects can destroy thousands, even millions of dollars worth of produce and plant material in record time. Using canine teams to detect early infestation of these pests results in substantial savings for the farmer and consumer.

Our goal at Green Dog has always been to “Never miss a bug and be extremely easy to work with”. We embrace this motto more than ever in 2021 as we expand our operations and reach new customers, new industries and find new species of insects.
