Bed Bug Inspection in Escondido, CA

A professional inspection answers two questions before you spend money on treatment: is it really bed bugs, and which rooms are affected? For Escondido renters, the findings are also the record your landlord must share with you under California law.

When to Call for an Inspection

• You keep waking up with new bites.
• There are dark specks along the mattress edge or box spring.
• You saw a small brown bug or pale shells near the bed.
• You recently moved, traveled or had overnight guests.
• You picked up a used couch, bed or dresser.

What Gets Inspected

The technician focuses on places near where people rest: mattress seams and tags, box springs, bed frame joints, headboards, nightstands, couches, recliners, baseboards, outlet covers and curtain folds. In apartment buildings they may ask to check nearby units too.

How the Visit Goes

1. Quick questionsWhen the bites started, where people sleep, and any recent moves, trips or furniture.
2. Bedrooms, then the restEvery sleeping area first, followed by couches and chairs.
3. What they foundBugs, eggs, skins or stains are pointed out, often with photos.
4. The summaryAffected rooms and treatment options that fit your home.

For Escondido Renters and Property Owners

AB 551 requires landlords to give affected tenants a licensed operator's findings within 2 business days, and to notify every tenant if a common area is involved. In the older apartment buildings around downtown, inspecting the neighboring units at the same time saves everyone a second round.

Before the Technician Arrives

• Keep the bed as it is so the signs are still visible.
• Do not spray anything beforehand.
• Clear clutter from around the bed and couch.
