An inspection answers 2 questions before you pay for treatment: is it really a bed bug, and how far has it spread? In Twentynine Palms the answer to the second question can include a guest cabin, an RV on the lot or the boxes from a recent move.
When to Book an Inspection
- Fresh bites appear after sleeping at home in Twentynine Palms.
- Dark specks appear on a mattress seam, a bed rail or a couch arm.
- Your household goods just arrived from another duty station.
- You picked up a used bed, couch or dresser at a sale or online.
Where Our Technician Looks
Each bed gets checked first: seams, tufts and tags, the box spring, the frame corners and the back of the headboard. Then we move to nightstands, couches, recliners, baseboards, outlet covers, window frames and closet shelves. In older cabins we also look at the gaps in wood paneling and the joints of any furniture left by past owners.
How the Visit Goes
- QuestionsWhen it started, who sleeps where, and any recent moves, trips or guests.
- BedsEvery bed, futon and couch that someone sleeps on is checked first.
- EvidenceWe show you each sign we find and usually take photos.
- FindingsYou get a list of affected rooms and the methods that fit them.
Written Findings for Twentynine Palms Renters
About 59 percent of occupied homes in ZIP 92277 are rented. Under AB 551, a landlord must share inspection findings with affected tenants within 2 business days after a licensed inspection. Our report names each room with activity so you and your landlord work from the same list.
Before We Arrive
- Keep beds as they are so the signs stay in place.
- Hold off on any bug spray, dust or bomb in the days leading up to the inspection.
Inspection Questions
Can you inspect a cabin on a dirt road east of town?
Yes. Give us the cross streets or the parcel directions when you call, and tell us if the road gets rough after rain. We plan the visit around the drive and check every bed and couch in the cabin.
Should I spray the bed before you get here?
Please do not. Sprays and foggers push bugs into new rooms and wipe away the signs our technician needs to see. Leave the room as it is until we finish.
How your call is handled: Bed Bug Control CA inspects and treats homes for bed bugs in California. A licensed technician comes out to your Twentynine Palms address to look for signs. Treatment starts only after you approve the written quote.
