Bed bug found = room inspection needed

Room inspection is only required if a bed bug has been captured in the cassette or, obviously, somewhere else in the room.

It looks like you’ve found a bed bug inside a Valpas smart leg. This is your opportunity to take action and prevent the issue from spreading further.

Bed bugs can hide in any cracks or crevices in the room. Be thorough and take your time to conduct a careful and comprehensive inspection.
