BPCA is gathering evidence on how working dogs are used across professional pest management, from mammal control and surveying to specialist detection work such as bed bug detection.
Changes to hunting legislation are being considered across the UK. While these changes are intended to address activities such as trail hunting, we want to ensure they don’t unintentionally restrict the legitimate use or training of working dogs by pest professionals.
If you use working dogs, or you’re considering using them in your work, please take a few minutes to complete our survey.

Bed Bug Foundation CIC is an independent not-for-profit organisation that raises bed bug awareness through communication and education. We provide information and advice to home-owners and businesses alike, to help combat the stigma, financial and emotional cost that bed bugs can bring.
Bed Bug Foundation also acts as a certifying body for the Bed Bug Scent Detection Industry in Europe. If you wish to enlist the services of a bed bug scent detection dog, please click here to find teams operating in your area.
If you have found a specimen and would like us to take a look, please make use of our free specimen identification service.
