What a Bed Bug Inspection Includes
A Rock Pest inspector checks your beds, furniture, baseboards and outlets for live bugs, eggs, shed skins and stains. Many inspections include Raven, our trained bed bug dog. You’ll know whether it’s bed bugs before we leave, and if it is, you’ll get your treatment options, a price and a prep plan on the spot. Most inspections take about 30 minutes, and your initial inspection is free.
Signs We Look For
-
Live bugs and eggs
-
Shed skins
-
Small dark stains on bedding
-
Bites in a line or cluster
-
A musty odor in heavy cases
Meet Raven, Our Bed Bug Dog
Raven is a trained bed bug detection dog who works alongside our inspector, Ben. She sniffs out bed bugs in places a person can’t see, like deep inside couches, behind headboards and along baseboards, and she can catch small, early infestations a visual check might miss. Dozens of our Google reviews mention her by name.
Bites: Bed Bugs or Something Else?
Bites alone can’t confirm bed bugs. Many of our inspections turn up fleas, carpet beetles or another pest, which is why we check before anyone treats.
Bed Bug Bites
Small, itchy red welts, often in a line or cluster on skin that was exposed while you slept.
Flea Bites
Tiny red bumps, usually around the ankles and lower legs, often with pets in the home.
Spider Bites
Usually a single bite, sometimes with two small marks, that can swell more than a bed bug bite.
The Bed Bug Inspection Process
You’ve traveled in the last month and woken up with bites since, or the bites seem to be increasing over the last 2 to 4 weeks. Bed bugs often ride home in luggage. Learn how to check for bed bugs at a hotel.
You’ve spent time with someone who has bed bugs, or they’ve visited you, and you’ve since woken up with bites.
You woke up with a bug crawling on you, in your bed or on your furniture. Snap a photo or save it if you can, and we’ll identify it.
You’re already dealing with bed bugs and want a free written estimate, plus a plan from an inspector on the best way to get rid of them.
You’ve been fighting them yourself for days, months or even years, and you’re worn out. Let us take this off your plate and bring you real relief.
Bed bugs are a mental battle as much as a physical one. It starts slow, and before long you’re losing sleep, skipping visits with friends and family, and putting off having anyone over. If you’re ready for less stress, a good night’s sleep and peace of mind again, an inspection is the first step.
