Paying for treatment before you know what is biting is a gamble. A professional inspection tells you whether it really is bed bugs and which rooms are involved. For Olivehurst renters, it also gives the landlord the licensed findings California law requires them to share.
Good Reasons to Book One
- Welts keep appearing after nights in your own bed.
- Dark spots show up on the sheets or the mattress border.
- You found a small flat bug or a pale skin by the headboard.
- A used mattress, couch or dresser came home recently.
- You just moved into a 95961 home and bites began soon after.
What Gets Checked
The technician works outward from beds and couches: mattress piping and labels, the underside of the box spring, bed frame corners, headboard bolts, nightstand drawers, recliner frames, baseboards, outlet covers and the folds of curtains. Kids' bunk beds and spare rooms are checked too.

Inspections for Olivehurst Rentals
About a third of Olivehurst homes are rented. Under AB 551, a landlord must give affected tenants the licensed operator's findings within 2 business days, so ask the technician to list every room searched, including garage conversions or spare rooms.
Before the Technician Arrives
- Leave the bed made as it is so the signs stay in place.
- Do not spray or dust anything.
- Clear laundry and boxes from around beds and couches.
Questions About Inspections
Could the bites be from mosquitoes along the river instead?
They could. Mosquitoes are common near the Feather and Yuba rivers, and bite marks alone prove nothing. The inspector looks for the bugs, their eggs, skins and stains.
The inspector found nothing but I still wake up with bites. Now what?
Ask for a scent dog search or a return check in 2 to 3 weeks. A young infestation may be only a handful of bugs in one bed frame joint.
