1. eavesdropping device
2. bug
3. bugging device
4. listening device
Do these mean the same thing? If so,
which do you usually use?
I mean the term, not the device. LOL
Thank you.

I'd stick with forms derived from the lemma BUG. The other forms aren't nearly as clear, and are almost certainly less frequent/less recognizable.
