Macungie's mix of older colonial homes along Main Street and mid-century single-family residences throughout the borough creates multiple entry points for bed bugs, particularly in properties with shared walls or older construction gaps. The proximity to Route 29 and the regional commercial corridor means visiting workers, delivery personnel, and travelers passing through frequently introduce infestations.

We stand behind our work. Retreatment included if bed bugs return within the warranty period.
Older homes in Macungie's historic core do present challenges because bed bugs hide effectively in gaps around baseboards, behind plaster, and within vintage heating systems where caulking may have deteriorated over decades. The wall cavities common in pre-1950s construction give them multiple refuge points that modern homes lack. A thorough inspection of these structural details is essential—inspectors need to check inside radiator enclosures, around old electrical outlets, and behind trim boards where plaster has separated. While these older features don't cause infestations, they do require more intensive treatment preparation and monitoring once an infestation is discovered.
Heat treatment raises room temperature to 118°F+, killing all bed bugs and eggs in a single visit with no chemicals. Chemical treatment uses EPA-registered pesticides applied to hiding spots over 2–3 visits. For severe infestations, combination treatment (both methods) delivers the highest success rate.
Preparation depends on the treatment type. Heat treatment requires minimal prep — mostly clearing highly flammable items and pets. Chemical treatment requires washing and bagging bedding, clearing under beds, and temporary relocation for a few hours.
Heat treatment: you can return the same day once the space has cooled, usually 2–4 hours after treatment. Chemical treatment: you'll need to stay out for 4 hours minimum after the tech leaves.
Yes. We stand behind our work. If bed bugs return within the warranty period following treatment, we re-treat at no additional charge. Warranty terms vary by treatment type — ask your technician for details.
Pennsylvania law requires landlords to maintain habitable housing, which includes addressing pest infestations. Send your complaint in writing via certified mail and document all communication. If your landlord remains unresponsive, file a complaint with the City of Allentown's code enforcement office and consider requesting an independent inspection to create documented proof of the infestation.
Off-campus rentals near Lehigh County colleges are frequent bed bug hotspots, especially at the start and end of semesters when students move furniture in and out. Have the student notify the landlord in writing immediately and document any evidence with photos. If the landlord doesn't act promptly, an independent inspection report gives you the documentation needed to compel a response.
Extended-stay properties have elevated bed bug risk because guests stay for weeks rather than days, giving infestations more time to establish. When a guest reports a problem, move them to a different room immediately and have the original room inspected and treated before accepting another booking. A proactive inspection schedule — especially for high-turnover rooms — is the most cost-effective long-term management strategy.
