Our inspection settles 2 questions before you pay for treatment: are these really bed bugs, and how many rooms do they reach? In a Daly City house with bedrooms upstairs and a sleeping room off the garage, the answer to the second question can double or halve the job.
When to Call for an Inspection
- Fresh bites appear after you sleep in your own bed.
- Small dark dots appear on a mattress seam or sheet.
- You trapped a flat brown bug or found a pale empty skin.
- Relatives just visited, you moved, you traveled or you brought home used furniture.
What Our Technician Checks
We begin at the beds: seams, tags, the underside of the box spring, frame joints and headboards. Then we move to nightstands, sofas, recliners, baseboards, outlet covers, curtain folds and closets. In Daly City we also check the lower floor by the garage, the laundry corner and any mattresses or furniture stored there.

Why Written Findings Help in Daly City
About 46% of Daly City homes are rented, and many owners rent out a room or a lower unit in the same house they live in. Under AB 551 a landlord has 2 business days to share a licensed inspector's findings with affected tenants. Our written report gives the owner and the tenant the same facts.
Before We Arrive
- Leave beds as they are, since the clues we need are on them.
- Hold off on sprays, powders and foggers for a few days.
Inspection FAQ
Only my child is getting bites. Could it still be bed bugs?
Yes. Some people never react to bites, so one person with marks and others with none happens often. We judge by eggs, shells, spotting and live bugs, not by who has bites.
We found nothing at the visit, but the bites have not stopped. Now what?
Usually a K9 search or a second visual check 2 to 3 weeks later. A young case can be a handful of bugs inside a bed frame joint or behind an outlet cover.
