An inspection tells you 2 things before you pay for treatment: whether the bug is a bed bug, and how far it has spread. In a Highland home with 3 or 4 people sharing bedrooms, or a large house with guest rooms, that second answer shapes the price.
Good Reasons to Book
- New bites keep showing up in the morning.
- You found dark specks on a mattress tag, pillow or couch seam.
- Someone came home from a hotel stay and the bites started soon after.
- A family member who visits often has found bugs at their own place.
What We Look At
We begin at the bed: mattress seams, piping and tags, the box spring, frame joints and the back of the headboard. Next come nightstands, couches, recliners and dressers, then baseboards, carpet edges, closet shelves and outlet covers. In 1970s Highland tract houses, the carpet edge along the bedroom wall is one of the first places we check.
Your Visit Step by Step
- QuestionsWhen the bites began, who sleeps where, and any recent trips, guests or used furniture.
- Beds firstEvery bed, futon and couch someone sleeps on is checked closely.
- EvidenceWe show you bugs, eggs, skins or spots and take photos.
- Next stepsWe name the rooms with activity and the treatment options for each one.
Reports for Highland Renters and Owners
About 1 in 3 homes in ZIP 92346 is rented, so our report often goes to a tenant and an owner who lives elsewhere. AB 551 says a landlord must share the results of a licensed inspection with affected tenants within 2 business days. Our written findings name each room with activity, so both sides can plan from the same page.
Before We Arrive
- Keep beds made and furniture where it is, so the signs stay in place.
- Put away store sprays and powders, and do not use any for a few days before the visit.
Inspection Questions
I work a hotel housekeeping shift. Can you check my car and work bag too?
Yes. Tell us when you book and we will look over the car seats, floor mats and the bag you carry to work along with the bedrooms. Steam can treat the car seats if we find signs there.
Our house in East Highlands Ranch has 5 bedrooms. Do you check all of them?
We check every room where someone sleeps or sits for long periods. In a bigger home we start with the room that had bites and work outward, and the report lists each room as clear or active.
