Bed bugs travel with people and belongings, and a spotless new house is as open to them as an old rental.
Clovis had about 120,000 residents in the 2020 Census, which makes it the second largest city in Fresno County, and it has been an incorporated city since 1912. Its "Gateway to the Sierras" nickname comes from its spot at the foot of the mountains, and State Route 168 carries weekend traffic from Clovis up toward Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake. Clovis Unified is the largest employer, Clovis Community Medical Center draws patients and visitors from across the region, and roughly 36% of households rent.
Old Town Clovis and the 1960s Rental Core
ZIP 93612, the older center of the city around Old Town and Pollasky Avenue, is where renting is most common: Census estimates show about 6 in 10 households there renting, and more homes date from the 1960s than any other decade. Apartments and duplexes of that age often share walls, attics and plumbing chases, which gives bed bugs routes from one unit to the next.
- Report the problem to your landlord or manager in writing and keep a dated copy.
- Ask whether the units on each side of yours, and above or below, will be inspected during the same visit.
- Keep furniture in place until the technician has seen it.
Rodeo Weekend, Big Hat Days and Sierra Cabin Trips
The Clovis Rodeo has run on the last weekend of April since 1914, and Old Town also fills up for Big Hat Days, ClovisFest and the Friday night farmers market in summer. Visitors fill local hotels, and plenty of Clovis families head up Highway 168 to mountain cabins and rentals. When you come home from any overnight stay, unpack away from the bed, dry clothes on high heat and look over the suitcase before it goes back in a closet.

Clovis Bed Bug Questions
Which Clovis ZIP codes can I get a quote in?
All 3: 93611, 93612 and 93619. Together they reach Old Town and the rodeo grounds, north Clovis around Herndon Avenue, and the newer eastern neighborhoods such as Loma Vista and Harlan Ranch.
We stayed in a hotel for the Clovis Rodeo. How do we check our bags?
Unpack on a hard floor or in the bathtub, not on a bed. Run everything washable through a hot dryer for 30 minutes, then look over the suitcase seams and zipper tracks with a flashlight. Store the empty luggage in the garage for a few weeks.
Our summers pass 100 degrees. Will a hot car or garage kill bed bugs?
Not reliably. A parked car heats unevenly, and bugs deep inside seat seams or a packed box can ride out the hottest part of the day. Professional heat treatment uses sensors to prove every spot reached a lethal level.
What does bed bug treatment cost in Clovis?
It depends on square footage, how many rooms are affected and the method chosen. Angi's US figures run roughly $200 to $400 per room, and treating a full house often lands between $1,500 and $6,200. Your written Clovis quote is the number to plan around.
Should I sleep on the couch until the inspection?
No. Moving to another room often pulls the bugs along with you and spreads the problem. Stay in your usual bed, keep the sheets on a hot wash cycle and wait for the technician to see the evidence.
