Inside a Home Bug Sweep (and Garage Too)

Hidden devices can show up in the places people feel safest — their homes.
From wireless microphones to covert Wi-Fi cameras, modern bugs can be no larger than a coin.
A proper sweep takes time and precision. It’s not a “quick walk-through.”
What We Look For
Every GDI sweep starts with a structured physical inspection. Our investigators examine:
Wall outlets and light fixtures
Circuit breaker boxes and wiring runs
Furniture, ceiling tiles, vents, and garage storage areas
Any object capable of hiding or powering a small transmitter
The next step involves an electronic analysis, scanning for radio-frequency, infrared, and Bluetooth anomalies.
To ensure accuracy, all Wi-Fi and power must be turned off before testing begins — eliminating interference from your own electronics.
Why Preparation Matters
Clients often underestimate how much clutter affects a sweep. In one recent case, a homeowner’s excessive storage slowed testing to a crawl.
When pathways and outlets are blocked, more time and cost are involved.
Before your appointment, our team will send preparation instructions:
Turn off Wi-Fi and main power.
Move furniture away from walls.
Clear access to outlets and fixtures.
