Bed Bug Inspection

How we handle it

1. 01

   Room-by-room inspection

   We start where people sleep and work outward — mattress and box spring seams, the bed frame and headboard, upholstered furniture, baseboards and the rooms next door. In apartments and condos we look at the walls and services shared with neighbouring units, because that is how bed bugs move between them.

2. 02

   Evidence & identification

   We confirm the species from physical evidence rather than from bites. Bite reactions are unreliable — other biting insects and ordinary skin reactions look the same, and some people show nothing at all. If we find something, we show you exactly what we found and where.

3. 03

   Extent mapping

   Knowing there are bed bugs is only half the answer. We map how far the population has spread and which rooms or units are involved, and where the evidence is thin we place monitors so the picture is based on something more than a single sighting.

4. 04

   Written findings

   You get a written record of what was inspected, what was found, and where. If we find nothing, that is what the report says — we do not sell treatment on suspicion. If we do find bed bugs, the findings become the basis of the treatment plan and something you can hand to a landlord or property manager.
