Homes and apartments across Henrico vary in age, layout and construction. Bed bugs can hide in mattress seams, furniture joints, headboards and narrow gaps close to sleeping areas.
If you suspect activity, record where you saw signs and avoid moving unprotected furniture or bedding between rooms. In multi-unit properties, notify management so they can coordinate next steps.
Ask a provider whether the inspection covers nearby furniture and adjoining spaces, what treatment methods are available, and whether a follow-up visit may be recommended.

Local inspection considerations
- •Henrico's older ranch-style homes often have finished basements where bed bugs hide in carpet tack strips and HVAC returns.
- •Summer heat combined with frequent rain forces treatments indoors or in early morning to avoid afternoon storms that affect equipment.
- •Suburban lots with mature landscaping create shaded perimeters that keep soil moist, so we apply perimeter barriers only after checking drainage around foundations.
- •Many Henrico properties back up to wooded edges near Deep Run Park, increasing the chance bugs hitchhike in on furniture moved from nearby rentals.
