Before booking a full bed bug treatment, plenty of people in Fortitude Valley just want someone to check whether it really is bed bugs and how far the problem has spread. A bed bug inspection visit does exactly that. The crew we book looks over the mattress seams, the bed frame joints, the skirting boards near the bed, and any furniture within a metre or two of where you sleep, since that is where bed bugs tend to gather first.
Bites alone are not proof of bed bugs, since several insects can leave similar marks, so a look at the actual hiding spots gives a clearer answer than guessing from the skin. In Fortitude Valley, homes range from character houses with timber floors and skirting to modern units with carpet and built-in furniture, and the crew checks the spots that suit each type of home. If they find signs of bed bugs, they will talk you through what a treatment visit would involve and what to expect from the room during and after the work.
An inspection is also useful if you are moving into a new place, have picked up a second-hand mattress or piece of furniture, or a neighbour in the same building has mentioned a problem.
