Dog Detection

Two of the most indispensable members of the Twinspectors team are Molly and Coco - termite detection dogs. Just as police dogs put their more than 200,000 ultra-sensitive olfactory nerves to use in order to detect narcotics, Molly and Coco use theirs to sniff out the presence of termites.

How do they do it? Termites' digestive tracts emit a variety of different methane gases. In fact, more than 20 different gases have been identified. Dogs like Molly and Coco are trained by specialised trainers to detect the distinctive scent of those gases. If either Molly or Coco comes across the scent of those telltale gases, they can lead inspectors to areas in the home where termites are present.

Without a doubt, Molly and Coco both save our inspectors an incredible amount of time and energy. More importantly, they allow us to charge extremely competitive rates for our inspections. Whether they are located behind exterior stucco, siding or veneers, under floor coverings or inside walls, their ultra-sensitive nose can sniff them down and lead our inspectors right to them. When used in concert with our other first class tools, their assistance makes Twinspectors inspections more efficient and effective.

Although termite detection dogs are become extremely widespread, it's important to note that Twinspectors were the first company to utilise this tool. Many companies have only recently gotten on board with this type of technology; as a result, they aren't as well-versed about it. If you'd like to enjoy the unbeatable benefits that a termite-detecting dog brings to the table, you can rely on Molly, Coco and the Twinspectors team.
