Idaho Bug Sweeps | Professional TSCM Services

Discreet Services provides expert Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) across the state of Idaho. Also known as a bug sweep, this service detects and identifies hidden surveillance devices in homes, offices, and vehicles.

Originally a term used in military and intelligence work, TSCM now refers to professional-level inspections for covert cameras, microphones, GPS trackers, and other eavesdropping tools. Whether you're a business owner, private individual, or public figure, the goal is the same: to ensure your space hasn’t been compromised.

Our experienced TSCM team is equipped with industry-leading equipment including RF signal detectors, thermal imaging cameras, non-linear junction detectors (NLJD), and advanced physical inspection tools. We’ve performed sweeps in all types of environments, from downtown condos and suburban homes to commercial and agricultural facilities.

We inspect boardrooms, employee workspaces, and even temporary meeting rooms. In high-risk scenarios, we provide signal-blocking and countermeasure options to secure sensitive discussions and intellectual property.
