Bed bug found = room inspection needed

Previous7. Dispose of any bugs by flushing them down the toiletNextRoom inspection checklist

Last updated 9 days ago

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.

How to inspect the room

Here are two step-by-step guides for inspecting a room where a bed bug was found.

You can either open and print the PDF version below or access the digital version online.

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 step by step.
