Most inspections completed within 24 hours of your call.
Alburtis is a small borough in Lehigh County with a mix of older Victorian-era homes and mid-century residential properties, many built along the Little Lehigh Creek and clustered near Route 29. The age of these structures—some dating to the 1800s—creates conditions favorable for bed bugs, as older wood framing, plaster walls, and multiple layers of flooring provide ideal harborage points. With proximity to regional transit corridors and the Allentown area, infestations can spread from surrounding communities.
Alburtis is predominantly characterized by single-family homes from the late 1800s through 1960s, with some modest multi-family rental properties concentrated in the downtown corridor. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or property manager in Alburtis, The Bed Bug Inspectors provides fast, certified bed bug inspection near me.

We stand behind our work. Retreatment included if bed bugs return within the warranty period.
Victorian-era homes in Alburtis have structural features that bed bugs exploit: plaster walls with cracks and gaps, original hardwood floors with gaps between boards, and wood trim that's often hollow or loose. The multiple layers of wallpaper and paint common in these older homes create dozens of hiding spots invisible to the naked eye. Additionally, older masonry foundations and settled framing create small voids where bed bugs retreat during the day. Inspecting these homes requires understanding their unique construction and checking not just furniture, but also baseboards, crown molding, picture frames, and even the space between wall studs if damage is present—standard apartment tactics won't work in a 140-year-old house.
A professional bed bug inspection typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on the size of your home. Our inspectors check mattress seams, box springs, headboards, furniture joints, baseboards, and electrical outlets — all common hiding spots that DIY checks miss.
Don't clean or move furniture — we want to see the space in its natural state. If you've seen bed bugs or bites, note which rooms and when. Remove clutter from around the bed if possible but otherwise leave things as they are.
Yes. Every inspection includes a detailed written report documenting findings, locations of activity, severity assessment, and treatment recommendations. This report is useful for landlord-tenant disputes, real estate transactions, and insurance claims.
Yes. We inspect all property types — apartments, condos, single-family homes, hotels, offices, shelters, and healthcare facilities. Commercial properties typically require a separate quote based on scope.
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.
