Treatment money is wasted if the pest is misidentified or a hiding spot is missed. A professional inspection answers whether you have bed bugs and exactly where they are. On a Boulevard property with a second dwelling or a parked RV, it also shows which structures need work and which do not.
Signs It Is Time to Book
- Bites keep showing up in the morning.
- You see black specks on sheets or the mattress border.
- A small flat insect or pale shell turned up near a bed.
- A guest who stayed in the trailer or granny flat woke up bitten.
- A used mattress or recliner came home recently.
What the Technician Checks
The search begins where people sleep and rest: mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, nightstands, recliners, baseboards, switch plates and curtain folds. On Boulevard lots it should also include any manufactured home, travel trailer, guest room or bunkhouse where someone spends the night.
How the Visit Unfolds
- BackgroundWhen bites started, who sleeps where and any recent travel, guests or used furniture.
- SearchBedrooms first, then seating areas and every other sleeping space on the lot.
- Show and tellYou see what was found, often in photos.
- Written resultsAffected rooms and buildings are listed with treatment options.
For Boulevard Owners and Tenants
About 27% of occupied homes in 91905 are rented. AB 551 gives landlords 2 business days to share a licensed operator's findings with affected tenants, so a written report makes that step simple. Ask the company about any trip fee before the visit.
Before the Visit
- Leave beds as they are so the evidence is still there.
- Put away the spray can and skip foggers.
- Clear clutter from around beds and couches.
Questions About Inspections
Ticks and gnats bite us too. Can the inspector tell the difference?
Not from the bite itself, but from the evidence. The technician searches for the bugs, eggs, shed skins and fecal spots, and only confirms bed bugs when those turn up.
Should the inspection and the treatment be on the same trip?
Sometimes they can be, which saves a second drive out to 91905. Ask whether the company can bring treatment gear to the inspection or book both visits close together.
