An inspection settles 2 questions before you pay for any treatment: are these really bed bugs, and how far have they spread? In a Rancho Cordova post-war house with a wall heater by the bed, or a new Sunridge home full of furniture from a previous address, the answer to the second question sets the plan and the price.
When to Book an Inspection
- You keep waking with new bites after sleeping at home.
- Dark specks appear on a mattress tag, seam or pillow.
- You find a pale skin or a small flat bug near the bed.
- You recently moved, stayed in a hotel or bought a used bed or couch.
Where Our Technician Looks
We focus first on spots where people rest for hours: mattress piping, box spring corners, bed frame joints, headboards, nightstands, sofas, recliners, baseboards, switch plates and curtain folds. In older 95670 homes we add wall heater grilles and door frames, and in newer 95742 homes, furniture that came from storage.
Inspection Step by Step
- BackgroundWe ask when bites started, who sleeps where and about any moves, trips or visitors.
- Sleeping areasEvery bed and resting spot is checked before the rest of the house.
- Evidence shownOur technician shows you and photographs any clear signs.
- Written findingsYou receive a list of affected rooms and the treatments that suit them.
Written Reports for Rancho Cordova Renters
The 2020 Census shows 43.6% of occupied homes in Rancho Cordova are rented. AB 551 requires a landlord to pass a licensed inspector's findings to affected tenants within 2 business days, so a clear written report helps the tenant, the property manager and our team work from the same facts.
Before We Arrive
- Leave beds as they are and keep furniture in place so the evidence stays put.
- Hold off on sprays, dusts and foggers until after the visit.
Inspection FAQ
We moved in last month and the bites started right after. Should we book now?
Yes. Early cases are the easiest and cheapest to clear. Tell us which pieces came from your old home or a storage unit, and we will check those first along with the beds.
Can you inspect only the bedroom to keep the cost down?
We start in the bedroom, but we also check the couch, recliner and any room where someone sleeps or naps. Skipping those spots is how a small case gets missed and comes back later.
