In today’s hyper-connected world, privacy breaches are no longer rare—they’re routine. Whether it’s a GPS tracker hidden in your car or a microphone planted in your boardroom, Australians are increasingly falling victim to being tracked. That’s why more people—especially in cities like Melbourne—are turning to Private Investigators and Private Investigation Companies to protect their personal and professional spaces.
One of the most effective solutions available today?
Bug Sweeping and TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter Measures) services.
“The reality is, most people don’t realise they’ve been compromised until sensitive information starts leaking. By then, the damage is already done.”

What Is Bug Sweeping (TSCM)?
Bug Sweeping, also known as Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM), is the process of identifying and removing illegal surveillance equipment such as:
- Hidden listening devices
- Covert cameras
- GPS tracking units
- Signal-transmitting devices in phones, modems, computers, and electrical outlets
These devices are commonly used in both corporate espionage and domestic disputes, which is why engaging a licensed Private Investigator is so important.
Why You Shouldn’t Trust DIY Bug Detection Tools
Today’s surveillance technology is complex. Most cheap bug detection gadgets won’t detect encrypted or frequency-hopping devices. That’s why you need the services of a licensed Private Investigation Company with:
- Advanced detection equipment (e.g. RF detectors, thermal imaging, spectrum analysers)
- Skilled operatives who understand how bugs are installed
- Experience in assessing risks across various environments—from homes to high-security corporate offices
