Kentucky Bug Sweeps | Professional TSCM Services

Discreet Services offers expert Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) across the entire state of Kentucky. Commonly referred to as a bug sweep, this service is designed to detect hidden surveillance threats in homes, offices, vehicles, and other sensitive spaces.

Whether for personal safety or business security, the purpose is always the same, to verify whether the Client's property has been compromised by illegal surveillance devices.

Our team customizes each inspection based on the location’s size, layout, and risk level. We use advanced technology from trusted brands like REI, including RF signal detectors, non-linear junction detectors, thermal imaging, and high-definition visual inspection tools. With over 15 years of field experience, we combine the best equipment with real-world knowledge to perform a physical inspection as well. We carefully inspect crawl spaces, attics, furniture, fixtures, and more.

Common Bug Sweep Services in Kentucky

  • Businesses and corporate offices – inspections for leaks and illegal surveillance
  • Vehicles and fleets – detection of GPS trackers and listening tools

TSCM Services for Homes and Residential Clients

Home bug sweeps are often requested after a divorce, breakup, or when someone feels they're being monitored. Our Kentucky team uses broad-spectrum frequency detection, non-linear junction detectors, and thermal cameras to find both active and dormant devices—even those embedded inside walls or furniture. A full physical sweep identifies signs of tampering or hidden electronics that may not be transmitting.

Corporate and Commercial Bug Sweeps

We work with Kentucky-based law firms, manufacturers, medical developers, financial firms and other companies to protect sensitive business communications. Whether it’s in an executive boardroom, mobile office, restrooms or temporary hotel space, our services are ideal for IP protection, lawsuit prevention, and leak detection. We also offer active countermeasures during high-stakes meetings to block RF transmissions and reduce the risk of surveillance.

TSCM for Travelers and Short-Term Rentals

Executives, public figures, and business travelers often request sweeps of Airbnb's, hotel rooms, and rental cars. These services protect against illicit recording and GPS tracking while traveling. Hidden cameras in lodging are unfortunately found often. Our counter-surveillance efforts ensure you're not being watched or followed during your stay in or around Kentucky.
