At Bantock House Museum.<br /> <br /> New tricks for old dog breeds...<br /> <br /> Enterprising Mark Doggett has come up with a new business idea that's not to be sniffed at...A team of crack pooches that use thier noses to find dry rot in old houses.<br /> <br /> And he now has plans to train the cunning canines to hunt out bed bugs for hotel chains as well.<br /> <br /> Sniffer dogs have been trained to detect the destructive fungi early and in areas humans can't access, meaning they could save people thousands of pounds of expensive damage.<br /> <br /> There are even plans to train the dogs to detect bed bugs, which could prove a huge help to hotels, hospitals and boarding schools.<br /> <br /> Mark Doggett, 30, started his business Enviro-dogs last year and it is the only company in the country people can hire to check properties for dry rot.
