The method

The detection dog at the service of remediation.

A trained dog recognises the specific scent of the larvae in the soil and pinpoints their location, where manual sampling would take hours. Faster, more precise, fewer treatments.

  1. 1

    Site survey

    Assessing the area with the body or nursery: perimeter, critical points and remediation goals.

  2. 2

    Scent search

    The detection unit inspects the soil and marks the spots where larvae are present.

  3. 3

    Report & remediation

    A documented hand-off — georeferenced positions and outcome — supporting containment work.
