For the last 8 years we have offered a canine bed bug detection service. For even longer, our arson dogs detection services where used in collaboration with the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec, other police services, forensic engineering firms and various insurance companies. All have relied on the PK-9 detection dogs to identify accelerant on fire scenes. We have also trained dogs in Geneve Switzerland for DETECTIONS.CH<\/a> specifically for bed bug detection.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2241″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css_animation=”left-to-right” css=”.vc_custom_1492522123393{margin-bottom: 23px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2467″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1500053967221{margin-bottom: 25px !important;padding-top: 35px !important;}”]Always working on offering expanded services, PK-9 is developing new substances to detect.
