South Korea Deploys Sniffer Dog to Prevent Bedbug Infestation Post-Olympics

Beagle named Ceco screens returning athletes and travelers at Incheon Airport to curb potential bedbug outbreaks.

Ceco, a trained beagle, detects bedbugs by sniffing pheromones with 95% accuracy.
The initiative is a collaboration between the government and pest control company Cesco.
Increased disinfection measures focus on flights from Paris, with weekly cleanings.
The program runs until September 8, covering the return period of the Paralympics.
South Korea experienced a rise in bedbug cases as travel resumed post-pandemic.
