Before you spend money on treatment, an inspection tells you 2 things: whether the bug is really a bed bug, and how many rooms it has reached. Around Edwards, the second question often reaches past the house to a camper, a guest trailer or a vehicle.
Good Reasons to Book
- You wake up with new bites after sleeping at home.
- You notice dark dots on a mattress seam, a bed rail or a recliner arm.
- Someone came home from a duty trip or a hotel stay and now has bites.
- You bought a used couch, bed or dresser in Lancaster or online.
What Our Technician Checks
We start at each bed: piping, tufts and labels, the box spring, the frame joints and the back of the headboard. From there we move to nightstands, couches, recliners, baseboards, heating registers, outlet covers and closet shelves. In manufactured homes we also check the trim strips and the built-in cabinets near the bedrooms.
The Visit Step by Step
- Talk firstWhen the signs started, who sleeps where and any recent trips, guests or used furniture.
- Beds firstEvery bed, futon and couch used for sleep gets checked before anything else.
- Show youWe point out each sign and usually photograph it.
- PlanYou get a list of affected rooms, trailers or vehicles and the methods that suit them.
Written Results for Edwards Area Renters
About 3 in 4 occupied homes in ZIP 93523 are rented, counting the on-base housing area. For private rentals off base, AB 551 requires the landlord to share inspection findings with affected tenants within 2 business days after a licensed inspection. Our report lists each room with activity so owner and tenant work from the same facts.
Before We Arrive
- Leave beds made as they are so the signs stay visible.
- Stop using sprays, powders or foggers a few days ahead.
Inspection Questions
We have a travel trailer on the lot. Do you check it too?
Yes, if anyone has slept in it or stored bedding in it. Trailers, campers and RVs have tight gaps around cushions and paneling where bugs settle. Tell us about it when you call so we plan time for it.
Should I spray before you come so the problem does not spread?
No. Sprays and foggers can scatter bugs into other rooms and hide the signs we need to see. Leave the room as it is until after the inspection.
