Protecting Your Home from Bed Bugs

Prevent Bed Bug Infestation in Your Home

Bed bugs are great hitchhikers. They can move from an infested site to a new home by traveling on furniture, bedding, luggage, boxes, and clothing.

Although they typically feed on blood every 5 to 10 days, bed bugs can be quite resilient; they're capable of surviving several months to a year without feeding.

SERVPRO of Upper Darby Can Help. 

Keeping a clean, tidy and uncluttered house can save you a lot of time and money by drastically decreasing your chance of bed bugs in the first place.

Identifying and Controlling Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs can be hard to find, given their small size and their habit of staying hidden. It helps to know what they look like, since the various life stages have different forms.

There are many bugs that look like bed bugs so an accurate identification is a critical first step to avoid costly treatment for the wrong bug.

Getting good, solid information is the first step in both prevention and control.
