Nurseries
Checking potted plants and growing media before movement.
The method
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.
Assessing the area with the body or nursery: perimeter, critical points and remediation goals.
The detection unit inspects the soil and marks the spots where larvae are present.
A documented hand-off — georeferenced positions and outcome — supporting containment work.
Checking potted plants and growing media before movement.
Parks, gardens and turf managed by public bodies and municipalities.
Infested areas and buffer zones subject to plant-health measures.
Periodic surveillance for the early diagnosis of new outbreaks.
