As counter surveillance experts, we see that secret listening devices and cameras are becoming more common and harder to locate due to the increasing sophistication of technology.
Devices which cost just a few pounds to buy, require kit worth upwards of £10,000 to locate.
Electronic bugs come disguised in everyday objects such as smoke alarms, plug sockets, air fresheners, clocks, calculators and also in tiny devices that are easily hidden around the home, office or vehicle.
Some devices are noise activated and are able to dial a phone when someone speaks so the user can listen in from anywhere in the world to a private conversation or meeting.
Those using clandestine devices and bugs range from rogue states through to wives and husbands who suspect their spouse is hiding something from them.
Finding electronic bugs and listening devices is difficult because they are so small and so well disguised. Here at Bug Sweeping UK, we have the very best equipment worth tens of thousands of pounds so we can locate them and remove them for our clients, but it still requires a lot of experience, time and effort to ensure a premises is free from illegal surveillance devices.
We are regularly called in by companies to check their boardrooms and meeting rooms, and as well as hotel rooms, Air BnB’s, care homes and commercial sites.
The motive for people planting a listening device or secret camera can range from wanting to obtain private information such as names of people, passwords or financial information to knowing the whereabouts of an individual or who they are seeing.
Unfortunately, it is not illegal to sell surveillance equipment that allows people to spy on others, but it’s important for the public to understand that these devices exist and can do harmful damage both physically and psychologically.
