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 Emerald and all of Lehigh County with same day bed bug treatment — fast response, professional results.
Bed bugs multiply fast — every night you wait makes the infestation worse.
Emerald is a small residential community in Lehigh County characterized by single-family homes and modest apartment complexes that have served the area for decades. The proximity to Route 476 and the region's growing population density create conditions where bed bugs can travel into homes through used furniture purchases, visiting guests, and shared rental properties.
Emerald's housing stock consists primarily of single-family ranch and colonial homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, along with several older garden-style apartment complexes. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or property manager in Emerald, The Bed Bug Inspectors provides fast, certified same day bed bug treatment.

We stand behind our work. Retreatment included if bed bugs return within the warranty period.
Used furniture is one of the most common ways bed bugs enter homes in Lehigh County communities like Emerald. Before bringing any secondhand items inside, inspect the seams, piping, and underneath the furniture carefully using a flashlight—look for small rust-colored spots, shed skins, or the bugs themselves, which are about the size of an apple seed. If you spot anything suspicious, treat the furniture outdoors or don't bring it in. Even if the furniture appears clean, consider vacuuming it thoroughly and letting it sit sealed in a garage for several weeks, or having it inspected by a professional before it enters your home.

Yes. Heat treatment is the only bed bug method that kills all life stages — eggs, nymphs, and adults — in a single treatment. Chemical treatment requires multiple visits. If you need a fast, definitive solution, heat is the right choice.
Our technicians set up industrial heaters to raise the room temperature to 118–120°F throughout the space. They monitor with multiple sensors and move heated air to eliminate cool spots. The process takes 6–8 hours for most units. You return to a bed-bug-free home the same day.
No. Heat treatment kills bed bugs inside your mattress, box spring, and all other furniture. You do not need to throw anything away. We recommend mattress encasements after treatment as an added protective layer, but disposal is never necessary.
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.
