Bed bug activity can occur in detached homes, townhomes and multi-unit properties. Common inspection points include mattress seams, bed frames, upholstered furniture and cracks near sleeping areas.
When activity is suspected, reduce movement of belongings between rooms and contact property management if the home shares walls or common spaces with other units.
A provider should explain the evidence found and recommend a plan suited to the property. Confirm availability and request a written estimate before authorizing treatment.

Local inspection considerations
- •Mid-century Mechanicsville homes frequently have narrow crawl spaces and brick foundations that require targeted drilling for heat or dust treatments.
- •Humid summers increase bed bug activity in attics and upper floors of two-story houses along Mechanicsville Turnpike.
- •Private driveways and side yards allow equipment vans to park out of street view during inspections and follow-up visits.
- •Proximity to the Chickahominy floodplain means occasional higher moisture levels that can affect how quickly chemical residuals dry after application.
