Congratulations to the teams that certified at the NESDCA Ocean City Maryland Certification. Thank you to Kilo 12 and Connor’s Consulting for putting on the 17th Annual K9 detection Workshop. The teams worked hard. Thank you to the instructors and testers for working tirelessly with all of us all day everyday. And thank you Castle By The Sand Hotel for hosting the training and testing again this year. What a beautiful place to relax after a long day training by the ocean.

Throwing out your mattress doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve thrown out the bed bugs.

Bed bugs don’t live only in mattresses. They can hide in bed frames, headboards, baseboards, furniture, cracks and other protected areas close to where people sleep.

That means replacing the mattress without addressing the infestation can leave you with a new mattress—and the same bed bug problem.

And putting an unwanted mattress at the curb with a “FREE” sign can potentially pass the problem along to someone else.

This is also where a trained bed bug detection dog can help. Rather than assuming the mattress is the problem, a properly trained K9 can use its sense of smell to help identify areas where bed bug odor is present—including places that may not be obvious during a visual inspection.

Before you start throwing things away, find out what you’re actually dealing with and where the activity is.

Detection matters. Know where the problem is before deciding what needs to go.

☀️ CAMP ISN’T OVER WHEN THE BUS COMES HOME.

Summer camp creates incredible memories—but it can also bring home an unwanted hitchhiker.

Before unpacking luggage, sleeping bags, backpacks, and clothing, take a few minutes to inspect everything carefully. Bed bugs don’t care if you stayed in a luxury lodge, rustic cabin, hotel, or campsite—they travel by hitching rides in personal belongings.

A few simple minutes of inspection can save weeks of stress and thousands of dollars in treatment.

Check:
• Sleeping bags and duffel bags
• Backpacks and luggage seams
• Pillows and blankets
• Clothing before putting it away
• Stuffed animals and camp gear

The best time to stop bed bugs is before they enter your home.

Have questions or think you’ve found something suspicious? We’re here to help.

What do you think of our new look?

Why are there so many different hunting dog breeds?

Because hunting isn’t just one job.

Retrievers bring game back.
Pointers locate and point.
Spaniels flush birds from cover.
Hounds follow a scent trail.

Each breed was developed over generations to perform a specific task. That’s why experienced hunters don’t ask, “What’s the best hunting dog?” They ask, “What’s the job?”

The same principle applies to all working dogs. Different jobs require different instincts.

Now we’d love to hear from you…

🐾 What hunting breed do you own?

🐾 What was your dog bred to do—and how do you see those instincts show up, even at home?

Rodents are often active long before you ever see one.

If you keep backyard chickens, now is a good time to take a walk around your coop and property. Early detection can prevent bigger problems later.

Look for these common signs of rodent activity:

• Small, dark droppings around feeders, coops, or feed storage.
• Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, feed bags, or electrical wiring.
• Burrows or holes under sheds, foundations, concrete slabs, or around the coop.
• Feed scattered on the ground or signs that feed is disappearing faster than normal.
• Shredded grass, straw, paper, or insulation used for nesting.
• Well-worn paths through tall grass or along fences.
• Noises in walls, under floors, or in the coop after dark.
• Unusual behavior from your chickens, especially at dusk or during the night.

Rodents don’t just eat feed. They contaminate it with urine and droppings, spread disease, damage buildings and wiring, and their populations can grow surprisingly fast if left unchecked.

A few minutes spent inspecting your property today can help protect your flock tomorrow.

Awareness today. Prevention tomorrow.

Woodchucks don’t just leave holes—they create underground tunnel systems that can weaken the ground beneath your lawn.

A burrow hidden by tall grass can become a hazard for:

* Lawn mowers and garden tractors
* Children playing in the yard
* Pets exploring the property
* Anyone walking across the lawn

Taking a few minutes to walk your property before mowing can help you spot fresh burrows before they become a bigger problem.

If you’ve noticed mounds of dirt, damaged landscaping, or new holes appearing in your yard, it’s a good time to investigate.

At Nutmeg K9 Pest & Wildlife Solutions, we help Connecticut homeowners identify wildlife problems early and develop practical, humane solutions before damage becomes more extensive.

Have you ever discovered a woodchuck burrow only after mowing or while working in your yard?

It’s tag sale season, and there’s nothing better than finding that perfect piece for your home.

Just one friendly reminder before you bring it inside…

Take a few extra minutes to inspect used furniture carefully. While most tag sale finds are perfectly fine, bed bugs can sometimes hitch a ride in furniture, upholstered items, and personal belongings.

A quick look now can save a lot of frustration later.

Enjoy the hunt, support your local neighbors, and shop with confidence.

Have you found any great tag sale treasures this summer? We’d love to hear about them!

If you’ve noticed geese that won’t fly away this time of year, they’re probably not injured.

From mid-June through mid-July, Canada geese go through their annual molt, replacing their flight feathers. During this period, adult geese are temporarily unable to fly.

You may see them gathered near ponds, lakes, and shorelines, often appearing reluctant to move away from people or dogs.

They’re not injured.

They’re not abandoned.

They’re just molting.

If you encounter molting geese, please give them space and avoid chasing them. Keeping dogs leashed near shorelines can also help reduce unnecessary stress during this vulnerable time.

A few weeks from now, their new flight feathers will be fully grown, and they’ll be back in the air.
