What Is a Bug Sweep?
A bug sweep is a thorough physical and electronic inspection of your property to uncover unauthorised surveillance devices. These may include:
- Audio Bugs: Microphones hidden in sockets, walls, or electronics to eavesdrop on conversations
- Hidden Cameras: Tiny video cameras disguised inside smoke detectors, clocks, or other everyday objects
- GPS Trackers: Devices planted in vehicles or belongings to monitor location
- Phone Taps: Hardware or software used to intercept calls and text messages
- Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Devices: Wireless devices that transmit data secretly over local networks
When Should You Consider a Residential Bug Sweep?
A residential bug sweep may be necessary if:
- You suspect someone is listening to or recording your private conversations
- You notice sudden leaks of personal information
- Strange or unfamiliar devices appear on your home network
- Your phone behaves oddly—frequent overheating, odd noises, or quick battery drain
- You’re involved in legal disputes, divorces, custody battles, or high-value negotiations
