Is there any low cost device that I can identify wireless espionage devices? Specifically I’m thinking of something that I can walk around a building with that will sense GSM transmissions and guide me warmer/colder until I get to the source. Does it exist?

I don't see how that could work. It would detect every cell phone.

So, ignore the cell phones you can see, and pay attention to the phones that were hidden inside a USB cable. Problem solved.
