TSCM Bug Sweeps Naples, FL

Insight Investigative Group, LLC is a licensed Florida private investigative agency, agency license A3400127, providing TSCM bug sweeps in Naples and across Collier County. Sweeps are $1.50 per square foot with a $500 minimum, and a vehicle sweep is $500 flat. TSCM stands for technical surveillance countermeasures: the physical and electronic inspection of a space to find hidden cameras, listening devices and tracking devices.

If you think someone may be listening to you or tracking you, do not research this from a device or account that person can see. Call 941-297-8213 from a phone they do not have access to, or have someone call for you. What you tell us is confidential to you under section 493.6119 of the Florida Statutes.

What a sweep covers in Naples

A sweep combines electronic detection with a hands-on physical inspection. We check for radio frequency transmitters, hidden cameras whether they transmit or record to local storage, listening devices, and GPS trackers on vehicles. The physical inspection carries as much weight as the electronics, because a camera recording to an SD card emits nothing for a receiver to find. Outlets, fixtures, furnishings and vehicle mounting points are examined directly.

Method and equipment are the same on every sweep we run, and are set out in full on the main TSCM bug sweeps page.

Why Naples work looks different

Collier County has two features that change the risk picture, and they compound each other. The first is seasonal occupancy. A large share of Naples property sits empty for months at a time while being maintained by people who hold keys: property managers, cleaners, landscapers, contractors, and staff who turn over between seasons. A house that is unoccupied for five months is a house where installing something takes no particular skill and carries very little risk of being interrupted.

The second is that Naples concentrates high value private matters. Family offices, wealth management, private law practices and contested divorces with real money attached all sit in a market where the parties frequently share advisors, clubs and social circles. The requests that come out of that are rarely about a stranger. They are about someone who had legitimate access and no longer should.

Practically, that means a Naples sweep usually needs to cover the whole envelope rather than one room, and it often needs to happen at a specific moment: after a season, after a staff change, after a separation, or before a sale. Civil matters in Collier County are heard in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, alongside Lee, Charlotte, Glades and Hendry.

Homes, offices and vehicles

  • Seasonal and primary residences. The living space and anything attached to it. Gated communities and managed properties are the common pattern here, and the access list is usually longer than the owner expects.
  • Private offices. Family office space, private practices and conference rooms where confidential discussions actually happen.
  • Vehicles and vessels. Tracking and recording devices, at $500 flat per vehicle. Vessels are quoted on the property basis.

How much does a bug sweep cost?

Sweeps are $1.50 per square foot with a $500 minimum, and a vehicle sweep is $500 flat. Those figures are quoted and agreed before any work begins. Square footage is what moves the number, so a single vehicle is a smaller job than a two story home or a full office suite. Sweeps outside the Suncoast are quoted individually before we schedule, so call and describe the space and you will get a number on the phone.

What a sweep is, and what it is not

A sweep addresses devices planted in a space or a vehicle. It is not phone or computer forensics, and it is not a promise about the future. A clean result describes the space on the day it was swept. Anyone promising more than that is selling reassurance rather than countermeasures. What you get is a documented inspection by a licensed investigator, with findings you can act on.

If a device is found, we document it to evidentiary standards rather than simply removing and discarding it. In Florida, installing a tracking device on another person’s vehicle without consent is generally a crime under section 934.425 of the Florida Statutes, so what we find may be evidence. What happens next, whether that is law enforcement, your attorney, or quiet removal, is your decision, made with the documentation in hand.

Questions, answered

Do you actually travel to Naples, or is this a referral?

We travel. Insight Investigative Group is based in Bradenton and takes TSCM work throughout Florida, and Naples is a routine run down I-75. The sweep is conducted by a licensed Florida investigator rather than subcontracted to a firm you have not vetted.

How much does a bug sweep cost in Naples?

$1.50 per square foot with a $500 minimum for a property, and $500 flat for a vehicle. Sweeps outside the Suncoast are quoted individually before scheduling, so the number is agreed before anything is booked.

My house sits empty half the year. Is that a real risk?

It is the single most common reason Naples properties get swept. An empty house with a maintained access list gives anyone on that list unhurried, unobserved time inside. Sweeping after a season, or after a change in staff, property manager or contractor, is a reasonable precaution rather than a paranoid one.

Is it legal for someone to put a GPS tracker on my car in Florida?

Generally no. Section 934.425 of the Florida Statutes makes it unlawful to install a tracking device on another person’s property without consent, with limited exceptions, and since October 1, 2025 that offense is a third degree felony. A device found on your vehicle is potential evidence and is documented as such.

Will anyone know I booked a sweep?

Sweeps are scheduled discreetly and reported only to you. Under section 493.6119 of the Florida Statutes the investigative file is confidential to the client. Contact us from a phone or device the other party cannot see.
