What Makes a New York City Bug Sweep Different
Few places are as dense as New York City. Shared walls, busy buildings and a crowded radio environment all affect how a sweep is done.
Crowded radio environment
Every apartment and office sits among thousands of Wi-Fi networks, phones and Bluetooth devices. Telling a hidden transmitter from neighbors' signals takes professional spectrum analysis, not a consumer detector.
Building staff and shared access
Supers, doormen, cleaners, contractors and coworking members may all have access to a space. Apartment and office sweeps account for that.
Hotels and visiting executives
Visitors meet in Midtown hotels and conference rooms every day. Hotel and conference room sweeps can be done before a meeting starts.

New York City Bug Sweep FAQ
Do you serve all five boroughs?
Yes. We provide bug sweeps in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.
What can you inspect in New York City?
Homes and apartments, corporate offices and conference rooms, hotel rooms and meeting spaces, and cars and other vehicles.
Do you have an office in New York City?
Yes. Our New York office is located at 1177 6th Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10036.
How much does a bug sweep cost in New York City?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the number of rooms or vehicles, and the scope of the inspection. Call us or send a confidential request for a quote.
How quickly can you come out in New York City?
Universal TSCM Group is available 24/7. Call us to discuss scheduling — urgent requests are welcome.
Can you detect hidden cameras that are not transmitting?
Yes. Some devices record to internal memory and don't transmit a wireless signal, which makes them hard to find with basic RF detectors. We combine specialized electronic equipment with detailed visual and physical inspection to find both transmitting and non-transmitting devices.
Will a cheap bug detector work in a New York apartment?
Consumer detectors struggle in New York because of the number of nearby wireless signals, and they cannot find devices that record without transmitting. A professional sweep combines spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection and a physical search.
Can you sweep a coworking office or shared suite?
Yes. We inspect private offices and meeting rooms in shared workspaces. Call us to discuss access and timing.
