Pest Control Services In Allentown
Allentown mixes century-old rowhomes downtown with wooded suburbs, so you get city pests and tick-heavy yards in the same metro.
Rodent ControlMice work into Downtown Allentown rowhomes through old cellar walls. Suburban houses near Whitehall and Emmaus see them in garages first.
Tick ControlBlacklegged ticks live along the wooded edges of the Lehigh Parkway and South Mountain. Yard treatments along tree lines cut their numbers.
Roach ExterminationGerman roaches spread through apartments carved out of older downtown houses. Treating one unit rarely fixes it.
Termite ControlEastern subterranean termites swarm in spring and reach sill plates through cracked foundations. Bait systems work well around the brick twins of the West End.
Bed Bug TreatmentBed bugs travel with used furniture and between apartment units. Heat treatment kills eggs, nymphs and adults in one visit.
Mosquito ControlState spray trucks have covered Trexler Park and parts of the West End after West Nile virus turned up in local traps. Clean out gutters and plant saucers weekly in summer.How Much Does Pest Control Cost In Allentown?

What To Know About Pests In Allentown
Penn State Extension says the brown marmorated stink bug was first collected in Allentown in September 1998, after arriving by accident from East Asia. It now spends every winter in walls across the Lehigh Valley, crawling out around baseboards and window trim.
Allentown registers rental units and inspects them on a regular cycle, plus whenever a tenant files a complaint. West Nile response runs through the state DEP and the Lehigh Conservation District, which have sent spray trucks through Trexler Park, Fairview Cemetery and the First Ward.
When Pests Are Most Active In Allentown
- Spring
- Ticks get active as soon as the Lehigh Parkway trails warm up. Termite swarmers pour out of West End basement walls in late April.
- Summer
- Spotted lanternflies reach adult size by July. Mosquitoes peak, and the state may truck-spray after West Nile hits.
- Fall
- Stink bugs gather on sunny siding in late September and push into the walls. Lanternflies lay egg masses on trees, stone and cars.
- Winter
- Mice nest in basements and garages. Scrape lanternfly egg masses off trees and patio furniture before they hatch in spring.

Allentown Pest Control FAQs
Drop it in the quote form with any Allentown question we missed and we’ll answer it.
Why does Allentown have so many stink bugs?
Brown marmorated stink bugs first showed up here in 1998 and spread across the Valley. They hide in walls each fall and come out on warm winter days.
Seal gaps around windows, siding and vents by early September. Vacuum the ones that get in, but use a spare bag because of the smell.
What should I do about spotted lanternflies in the Lehigh Valley?
Kill the adults, scrape egg masses in fall and winter, and check your car before you drive out of the quarantine zone.
Heavy infestations on tree of heaven or maple trees may need a pro treatment. They won’t bite you or your pets.
Does Allentown inspect rentals for pests?
The city requires rental units to be registered and inspects them on a set cycle and after complaints.
For a current infestation, tell your landlord in writing first. File a complaint with the city when nothing happens.
Are ticks a problem near Allentown parks?
Yes. Blacklegged ticks, the ones that carry Lyme disease, live in leaf litter along wooded trails and yard edges.
Keep a mowed strip between the lawn and the woods. A pro yard treatment in spring and early summer cuts their numbers a lot.
Will pest treatment harm my kids or my dog?
Not when a licensed company applies it the right way. Kids and dogs should stay off sprayed grass or floors until it’s dry.
Ask the tech for the label’s re-entry time on any lawn spray. Some need a few hours before anyone plays there.
