Bed Bug Inspection in Rodeo, CA

Before you spend money on treatment, you need to know two things: is it really bed bugs, and how far have they spread? A professional inspection settles both. In a Rodeo rental, it also produces the written findings a landlord must pass along to tenants.

When to Book One

• New bites keep appearing after sleep.
• You notice small dark stains on the sheets or mattress edge.
• You found a flat, brown insect or empty shells by the bed.
• Someone in your building or next door reported bed bugs.
• A used bed, sofa or dresser came into the house recently.

What Gets Checked

Inspectors begin at the bed and the couch and move outward from there: seams and tags, box spring corners, frame joints, headboards, bedside tables, baseboards, switch plates and curtains. In older Rodeo homes they also look along wood floor gaps, carpet tack strips and door trim, where age has opened small cracks.

How the Visit Goes

1. QuestionsWhen the bites began, where each person sleeps, recent travel and any secondhand furniture.
2. SearchSleeping areas first, then living rooms and spare rooms.
3. ShowEvidence is pointed out to you and often photographed.
4. Write upA written note of affected rooms and the treatment options that fit.

For Rodeo Renters and Landlords

About 37% of occupied homes in 94572 are rentals, from rooms in shared houses to units at Bayo Vista. Under AB 551, a landlord has 2 business days after a licensed inspection to pass the results to the tenants involved. A clear report also tells the owner whether a neighboring unit should be checked.

Getting Ready

• Leave the bed as it is so any evidence stays in place.
• Do not spray anything before the inspector comes.
• Clear the floor around beds and seating.
