Bed bugs are one of the most common problems people run into when they are buying or taking over a property, and they are often discovered only after the keys have changed hands. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and furniture joints, so a quick look at the surface is rarely enough. For a new owner or a tenant moving into a home that was recently occupied, the safest approach is to inspect before the sale or handover is finalised, not after the first bites appear.

Ahad Rafida sits at a high altitude, with the centre about 2055 m above sea level, and that matters when planning a visit. Cooler nights and the dry air typical of higher ground can change how quickly pests move and where they shelter, so the inspector should check bedrooms, sofas and stored bedding with care rather than relying on a single room. Because the same site may also have other pest issues, it helps to note whether there are signs of rodents or birds, which can be reviewed under separate services. The inspector can then prepare a treatment plan that fits the property rather than applying one standard method everywhere.

Before the visit, ask the provider how they will inspect each room and whether they will check furniture, mattresses and the areas behind wall fittings. Confirm what the treatment includes, how many visits are planned and whether a follow-up visit is required to finish the job, since a second visit is often needed to catch newly hatched insects. Ask for pricing in writing, with the cost of each visit clearly stated, and check whether the provider will record what they found so you have a clear report for the seller, landlord or your own records. Finally, ask what preparation is needed from you, such as clearing wardrobes or moving bedding, so the treatment can work as intended from the first day.

Before buying or taking over a property, an inspection gives you findings in writing before you sign.
