Bed Bug Inspection in Coronado, CA

Before you spend a dollar on treatment, two things need answering: is it actually bed bugs, and which rooms have they reached? An inspection settles both, and on a rental it produces the written record California law says a landlord must pass along.

• Rust colored dots appear on the sheets or along the mattress edge.
• You spotted a reddish, flat bug or pale shed skins by the bed.
• A guest staying in your rental mentioned bites.

What Gets Checked

The technician works close to the places people rest: mattress piping and tags, box springs, bed frame joints, headboards, nightstands, sofas, baseboards, outlet covers and drapery folds.

3. Evidence shown to youBugs, eggs, shed skins or stains, usually photographed as they go.
