We systematically check every known bed bug harbourage point — mattress seams, headboard joints, bed frame crevices, skirting boards, plug sockets, picture frames, curtain folds, and furniture joints. We look for live bugs, eggs, shed skins, faecal marks, and blood spots. Our experience means we know exactly where to look and can detect infestations at the earliest stages — before they become established. ## Why Professional Inspection Matters DIY checks miss the majority of bed bug hiding spots. Professional inspection catches what you can't see. ### Hidden Harbourage Points Bed bugs hide in tiny cracks, behind skirting boards, inside plug sockets, and within furniture joints. Without specialist knowledge, most hiding spots are missed entirely. ### Early-Stage Infestations Small infestations are almost invisible to untrained eyes. Our technicians can identify as few as 2-3 bed bugs and their eggs — catching the problem before it escalates. ### Misidentification Risk Carpet beetles, bat bugs, and other insects are commonly mistaken for bed bugs. Professional identification prevents unnecessary treatments — or worse, false reassurance. ### Multi-Room Spread Bed bugs often harbour in rooms adjacent to the main infestation. Without checking surrounding areas, you may treat one room while the problem persists in another. ### Evidence for Treatment A professional inspection report provides the evidence needed to choose the right treatment method. Heat treatment, spray treatment, or a combination — the right choice depends on accurate assessment. ### Peace of Mind Whether bed bugs are confirmed or ruled out, professional inspection gives you certainty. No more guessing, no more sleepless nights wondering if the problem is real.

Photographs are taken for your records and to support any insurance or compliance requirements. 4 ### Written Report & Recommendations You receive a detailed written report with our findings, severity assessment, and recommended treatment approach.

The most common harbourage points include mattress seams and tufts, headboard joints, bed frame screws and brackets, skirting board gaps, plug sockets, picture frame backs, curtain folds, and wardrobe hinges. In severe infestations, bed bugs can also be found in sofas, armchairs, behind wallpaper, inside electrical appliances, and even within books and clothing. Our inspectors check all of these locations as standard. ### Residential vs Commercial Inspections Residential inspections typically focus on bedrooms and adjacent living spaces. We check the primary sleeping area first, then expand to surrounding rooms to assess whether the infestation has spread. Commercial inspections for [hotels](/services/hotel-bed-bug-treatment), [student accommodation](/services/student-accommodation-treatment), and [rental properties](/services/landlord-bed-bug-services) may involve multiple rooms, common areas, and laundry facilities. We offer ongoing inspection contracts for commercial clients. ### What Happens After the Inspection If bed bugs are confirmed, we recommend the most appropriate treatment based on severity. [Heat treatment](/services/heat-treatment) is our preferred method for moderate to severe infestations — it kills all life stages in a single visit. [Spray treatment](/services/spray-treatment) is a cost-effective option for lighter infestations. If no bed bugs are found, we'll tell you honestly. We never recommend unnecessary treatment. Your written report confirms the all-clear for your records. ### Areas We Cover for Inspections We provide free bed bug inspections across [Leicester](/areas/leicester), [Birmingham](/areas/birmingham), [Sheffield](/areas/sheffield), [Derby](/areas/derby), [Nottingham](/areas/nottingham), and surrounding areas.
