# Bed bug found = room inspection needed

{% hint style="info" %}
Room inspection is only required if a bed bug has been captured in the cassette or, obviously, somewhere else in the room.
{% endhint %}

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.

## Spotting Bed Bugs

1. Use a **flashlight** and a **plastic card** to carefully inspect the room, including the bed, bedding, furniture, and any cracks or crevices where bed bugs may hide.
2. Go through seams and folds with plastic card.
3. The inspection should take at least 15 min. Go through the [checklist](/bed-bug-found-room-inspection-needed/room-inspection-checklist.md) step by step.
