Why a Dayton Specialist is Essential 🏙️

Acoustic Trail Mapping: 🔊 Using specialized audio equipment in Dayton "quiet zones" to play familiar sounds, drawing pets out of hiding after the city noise dies down at night.

Thermal "Structure Scans": 🚁 Drones equipped with high-resolution thermal sensors to scan under Dayton decks, sheds, and crawlspaces where skittish pets often hide.
