The Hospitality Industry
Bad news travels fast especially in this day and age. Guests that are bit by bed bugs are always very upset and often threaten filing lawsuits. Our K9 team can find as few as one bed bug, prevent future outbreaks and certify your location bed bug free with periodic inspections. We can also be as discrete as needed while getting the job done.
Healthcare Facilities
Bed bugs reproduce fast and an infestation can get out of control very quickly. We can not only detect current infestations, but periodically inspect the property to prevent future infestations.
Apartment Complexes and Dormitories
These are prime locations for bed bug infestation. Bed bugs can easily migrate through the walls from one unit to the other as the infestation grows. If you find bed bugs in one location the surrounding units should be inspected as well to gain control of the infestations before it gets any worse.
Private Homes
Get your life back! Bed bugs can be extremely elusive. They are also resistant to many of the common chemical treatments unless they are sprayed directly. We can set your mind at ease and have you sleep in peace again knowing that your home is bed bug free. Bed bug infestations originate from catching a ride in your luggage when you travel from one location to another. We have the ability to search your luggage after returning from a trip to prevent ever bringing the bed bugs into your home.
Why use a Bed bug Dog?
Detection dogs have been working for police departments and various government agencies around the world for decades. They have time and time again proven themselves as an effective and reliable tool for locating various items such as illegal drugs, cell phones in prisons, termites, cancer cells on humans, explosives and even bed bugs.
Research at Auburn University’s Veterinary School, shows working canines can detect a few odor molecules per billion parts of air. To illustrate this point, it would be comparable to a person being able to locate one specific grain of sand in a thirty (30) square foot section of beach.
Bed bugs are very elusive and it is almost always impossible for a human to find every last bug with visual inspections. By using a bed bug detection dog the treatment is able to be applied directly to the affected areas and there is no need to treat other areas that are free from the infestation. This can cut the costs of the treatments dramatically.
Bed bug dogs can be used extremely effectively as a preventative. Knowing that your home, hotel, hospital or apartment is bed bug free is a very comforting thought. Periodic inspections with a bed bug dog can locate an infestation before it quickly gets out of control and causes a major problem.
Bed bug dogs work very fast and can search a room for bed bugs in a fraction of the time it would take a technician to visually inspect the area. These highly trained canines are very hard working and depending on the room a bed bug dog can search 100-200 rooms in one day.
Bed bug detection dogs are the most technologically advanced tool in the world used to locate as little as one bed bug. Using these highly trained canines along with a specialized treatment is the most effective way to keep the bed bug problem under control.

Kill Bed Bugs FAST with Heat!
Thermal pest eradication, known simply as heat, is an alternative form of pest control that involves safely raising the temperature of an affected area to a level no pest can survive.
Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite – Kill Bed Bugs with Heat™
Heat is a technological and environmental breakthrough that is proven effective in non toxic pest control. Heat is not new. In fact, it has been used to rid structures of pests since the 1900s. But today, as Methyl Bromide continues to be phased out and other chemicals become less appealing, heat is gaining popularity as a natural pest control product and recognition as a viable and safe alternative to chemicals and fumigants.
ThermaPureHeat® is a superior solution to get rid of bed bug infestations. This non-chemical, non-toxic approach penetrates wall cavities, mattresses and other hard to reach locations to kill bed bugs. By applying heat evenly throughout a structure we are able to kill bed bugs wherever they are hiding. ThermaPure will kill all of the growth stages of the bed bug including the eggs. This is an important fact given that not all current pesticide control methodologies kill bed bug eggs. This means that oftentimes ThermaPure can eradicate the entire bedbug population in a single treatment.
There is considerable documentation citing the temperature and time correlations necessary to kill bedbugs and their eggs. Several sources (Usinger 1966, Gulmahamad 2002, Quarles 2007) report that adults and nymphs die within 15 minutes at temperatures greater than 113ºF and 60 minutes to kill eggs. Raising room temperatures above the thermal death point and maintaining that temperature for several hours should eliminate a bedbug infestation.
The temperature required to kill bedbugs and their eggs fall well within the temperature ranges achieved by ThermaPureHeat®. The low thermal death point of bedbugs allows AZEX technicians to better adapt the process to the building and its contents while still achieving efficacy. Unlike many pesticides, ThermaPure will penetrate into all of the harborages and kill bed bugs where they reside. Our process will force heat into beds, bedding, mattresses, furniture, electronics, wall cavities, etc. leaving no place for bed bugs to hide.
AZEX Pest Solutions is a fully trained and licensed pest control company offering the patented ThermaPureHeat® process for homes and small businesses. We are your integrated pest management partner.
