Todd Lorah
 

Sara the Bed Bug Dog

Todd Lorah began his career by proudly serving his country in the US Navy.  During Operation Desert Storm, Todd excelled as a communications and intelligence specialist aboard the USS America aircraft carrier.  Todd entered the pest control industry in 1995 and has seen many sides of the industry including being a commercial applicator, an account executive, the management of an Animal Control Division and project manager.  Todd’s considerable knowledge within the pest control industry has led him to opportunities in faraway places such as the Republic of Ireland and the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa.  Todd regularly conducts community education sessions within the housing and hospitality industry and feels strongly that through education and following the Integrated Pest Management protocols, an upper hand on bed bug infestations globally is possible.

 

 


Action Termite and Pest Control’s Sara the Bed Bug Dog is arguably the most known and loved bed bug detection canine in the United States.  Sara was rescued from a Florida animal shelter and trained by Master Trainer Bill Whitstine of the Florida Canine Academy.  Sara was given over 800 hours of training and certified as a bed bug detection canine.  In January 2007, Sara made Action Termite and Pest Control her new home.  Over the course of the next few years and into today, Sara was joined by Rex and Cassie, both certified as well.  Sara has completed bed bug inspections at hotels, apartments, residential homes, nursing homes, theatres, housing authorities and many more places where her incredible expertise is needed.  From New York to Philly and all over New Jersey, Sara has helped curtail the rise of infestation.   Sara has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, the Chicago Tribune, Press of Atlantic City, Atlantic Monthly, Philadelphia Star Ledger, WPIX NY, Philadelphia Daily News, and KYW Philadelphia.
