Allentown's dense rowhouse neighborhoods and rapidly growing rental market create significant bed bug pressure, exacerbated by high tenant turnover in older housing. Our certified team serves Laurys Station and all of Lehigh County with heat treatment for bed bugs — fast response, professional results.
Heat treatment is the only method that kills eggs, nymphs, and adults in a single visit.
Laurys Station is a small residential community in Lehigh County built around older single-family homes and modest apartment complexes typical of the mid-Lehigh Valley. The mix of aging rental properties and owner-occupied homes in the area creates varied maintenance conditions where bed bugs can easily move between units, especially in the apartment buildings concentrated near Route 29.
The community is predominantly characterized by single-family homes built between the 1950s–1980s, along with scattered small apartment complexes and rental properties. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or property manager in Laurys Station, The Bed Bug Inspectors provides fast, certified heat treatment for bed bugs.

We stand behind our work. Retreatment included if bed bugs return within the warranty period.
Older apartment buildings like those in Laurys Station often have shared walls and foundations with cracks or gaps that allow bed bugs to travel from one unit to adjacent ones, especially if there's limited maintenance or pest control. Check the seams of your mattress, headboard, baseboards, and electrical outlets—bed bugs hide in tight spaces during the day and emerge at night to feed. If you notice bites in a line pattern on your skin or see small dark droppings on bedding, contact a professional immediately, as early detection prevents infestation from spreading throughout the building. Inform your landlord right away, as treatment typically requires coordination across multiple units to be effective.
We use industrial electric heaters to raise the temperature in your home to 118–120°F for several hours. At these temperatures, bed bugs die at all life stages — eggs, nymphs, and adults — within minutes of reaching the target temperature. Multiple temperature sensors ensure every area reaches lethal heat.
Heat treatment is suitable for most household items. Before treatment, you'll remove heat-sensitive items: certain electronics, candles, pressurized cans, vinyl records, and pets/plants. We provide a detailed prep list. Everything else — furniture, clothing, bedding — stays in place.
Yes, when performed correctly. Heat treatment's single-treatment effectiveness is its primary advantage over chemical treatment. We use calibrated sensors to verify every area reaches lethal temperature, including inside mattresses and wall voids.
Heat treatment typically costs $1,000–$3,000+ depending on unit size and severity. Studio apartments start around $1,000; larger homes or severe infestations may cost more. Call (888) 308-9967 for a precise quote based on your specific situation.
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.
