Bed Bug Treatment in Greenwood, SC

Bed bugs have made a dramatic comeback across the Upstate of South Carolina, and Greenwood is no exception.

How Bed Bugs Spread

Bed bugs don't fly or jump – they're expert hitchhikers. Common ways they enter Greenwood homes:

• Used furniture – Mattresses, couches, and upholstered chairs can harbor bed bugs
• Visitors – Guests may unknowingly bring bed bugs in their belongings
• Shared spaces – Apartments, dorms, and nursing facilities see rapid spread

Signs of Bed Bugs

• Bites – Red, itchy welts often appearing in lines or clusters, typically on exposed skin
• Blood spots – Small reddish-brown stains on sheets from crushed bugs

• Shed skins – Translucent exoskeletons as bed bugs grow
• Musty odor – Heavy infestations produce a distinctive sweet, musty smell
