Before you pay for treatment, an inspection answers 2 things: is this truly bed bugs, and how many rooms are involved? In a Simi Valley house where a guest room, a teen's room and the family room couch all get regular use, that second answer sets the size of the whole job.
When to Book an Inspection
- You keep waking up with new bites in your own bed.
- Dark specks appear on the sheets or along the mattress piping.
- Someone in the house just came back from a work trip, a move or a stay with relatives.
- A used dresser, couch or bed frame came home from a yard sale or online listing.
What We Check
We begin at the beds and the seats people use most: mattress seams and labels, box springs, bed frame corners, headboards, recliners and sofa cushions. In older Simi Valley ranch houses we also look along baseboards, door trim and nightstand drawers, and in condos we check the walls shared with the next unit.
How the Visit Goes
- Quick talkWhen the bites started, who sleeps where and any recent travel or used furniture.
- Beds firstEvery mattress, couch and sleeping spot, then the rest of the rooms.
- Evidence shownWe show you what we find and take photos of most of it.
- PlanYou learn which rooms are affected and which methods suit them.
Reports That Help Simi Valley Renters
Under AB 551, a landlord must pass a licensed inspection's findings to affected tenants within 2 business days. Our written report gives a tenant leasing a house in east Simi, a renter in a west side complex or an owner renting out a room a clear record of where bugs were confirmed.
Before We Come
- Leave the mattress and sheets where they are, even if you want to toss them.
- Skip sprays, powders and foggers so the bugs stay put where we can find them.
Inspection Questions
I wake up with bites but my partner never does. Could it still be bed bugs?
Yes. Some people show no reaction at all while others itch for days. We go by what we find on the bed and furniture, such as eggs, skins and dark spots, not by who has marks.
We just bought a home in Simi Valley. Is an inspection worth it before we move our beds in?
It can be, especially if the house came with furniture or sat as a rental. An empty home is quick to check, and it is far easier to deal with a problem before your own beds and boxes arrive.
