Professional Bed Bug Inspection in Tampa
Expert detection of bed bug infestations. Identify all affected areas and develop effective treatment plans.
Why Professional Inspection Matters
Bed bugs hide in crevices, seams, and protected areas that untrained eyes miss. Our inspectors use specialized knowledge and systematic techniques to uncover all infestations before they spread.
DIY inspections miss evidence. Incomplete findings lead to underestimating severity and selecting inadequate treatments. Our licensed inspectors recognize subtle signs, understand bed bug behavior, and locate all affected areas.
What We Examine
Mattresses and box springs receive primary focus. Bed bugs concentrate near sleeping areas for easy host access. We examine seams, corners, piping, and undersides using specialized tools.
Beyond bedding: upholstered furniture, headboards, nightstands, baseboards, picture frames, electrical outlets, wall voids, closets, curtains, floor cracks, tile grout, and structural crevices. We combine visual inspection, tactile examination, and detection tools for comprehensive coverage.
Signs We Identify
Living bed bugs indicate active infestation, but we also find shed skins, fecal spots (dark pepper-like marks), blood stains on sheets, and musty odors. Bite patterns help us understand feeding activity and timeline.

Bed Bug Behavior
Location Preferences
Bed bugs stay within 5-8 feet of sleeping areas. They prefer darkness and tight spaces close to feeding sources. Understanding this behavior helps us target inspection efficiently.
Activity Patterns
Bed bugs feed at night and hide during daytime. Our inspectors locate hiding spots and activity evidence regardless of the time of day.
Infestation Stages
Early infestations show few fecal spots, occasional sightings, and scattered bites. Advanced infestations show bed bug clusters, heavy staining, and widespread bites. We identify both stages.
Early Detection Saves Thousands
Small infestations cost less to treat than widespread ones. Bed bugs double population every 2-3 weeks. Early professional inspection prevents expensive delayed treatment. Schedule your inspection today.
Professional vs DIY Inspection
DIY attempts miss hiding spots and misidentify evidence, leading to underestimating severity and selecting wrong treatments. Failed DIY inspections leave infestations to multiply.
Professional inspectors have trained eyes, proper tools, systematic processes, and years of experience. We recognize subtle signs, understand bed bug behavior, locate obscure colonies, and provide accurate reports for informed treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
After inspection, we recommend appropriate treatment based on infestation severity and location:
