What is a spy bug?
Radio or spy bugs are covert listening devices that transmit conversations from a room or a phone. These types of bugs are often used illegally for surveillance purposes. Their small size allows individuals to hide them almost anywhere. They typically go undetected as no one searches for them. You can think of bugging as electronic eavesdropping. Unfortunately, if you have been bugged individuals can maintain continuous surveillance, which allows them to obtain confidential and sensitive information. It is imperative to know the common signs that indicate you have been bugged to ensure sensitive information is not compromised. The following are common signs that you are being listened to or watched:
- Static or scratching sounds on your phone line.
- Electrical fixtures are slightly out of place.
- Discoloration on ceilings or walls.

- Your electronic devices experience unusual interference or bad reception.
