Tested K9 Teams
National scent-detection certification gives clients confidence that our dogs and handlers work to recognized standards.
Professional Certifications & Licensing
Trust should be earned before we step onto a property. Our training, certifications, licensing, and field experience help support accurate detection, humane management, and responsible work on Connecticut properties.
Nutmeg K9's foundation began with years of breeding and training goose dogs before formal field service began in 2015, with nationally certified bed bug and rodent detection services added through NESDCA.
Why It Matters
Proof Behind the Process.
National Wildlife Standards
National wildlife-control certification supports trained, humane decisions that protect people, pets, property, and wildlife.
Connecticut Compliance
Licensing matters because professional wildlife work must follow state laws, regulations, and ethical field practices.
National NESDCA Certification
Bed Bug Detection • Rodent Detection
Our dogs and handlers are nationally certified by National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association (NESDCA) in bed bug and rodent detection, with annual NESDCA recertification.
NESDCA sets the standard for scent detection through rigorous testing, ongoing education, and performance excellence.
For clients, this means our detection work is supported by outside testing rather than guesswork alone.
National NWCOA Certification
Birds • Rodents • Goose Management
We are nationally certified by the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) in the humane and effective management of nuisance wildlife.
This national certification reflects advanced training and adherence to industry-leading standards.
For property owners, this supports humane, informed decisions when wildlife activity affects daily use of the property.

Nutmeg K9 Pest & Wildlife Solutions is licensed by the State of Connecticut as Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators.
We operate in full compliance with state laws and regulations to provide safe, ethical, and effective solutions.
