A row of itchy bumps after a night in bed, black pepper spots along a mattress seam or a flat brown bug crawling out from behind a headboard: those are the moments that bring most Rancho Cordova residents to us. Our licensed technicians inspect and treat bed bugs in post-war houses near Folsom Boulevard, apartment complexes by the Gold Line, and the newer subdivisions around Douglas Road. Rancho Cordova residents can ring us or send the short form here for a free bed bug control quote.
Our team covers both residential ZIP codes that carry the Rancho Cordova name. 95670 holds the original town along Folsom Boulevard, Coloma Road and the light rail, and it also serves Gold River, an unincorporated Sacramento County community on the American River. 95742 takes in the newer south and east side, including Sunridge and Anatolia along Douglas Road and Rancho Cordova Parkway, and its land runs well past city limits into open county ground toward Grant Line Road. Mather 95655 has its own page.

Rancho Cordova had 79,332 residents in the 2020 Census on about 34.6 square miles of land east of Sacramento, between the American River and US 50. Its name comes from the old Cordova Vineyard, and after World War II builders put up rows of production homes on former vineyard land. Residents voted for cityhood in 2002, and the city began on July 1, 2003.
Bed bugs ride in on luggage, used furniture and guests, not dirt. The 2020 Census counted 28,614 homes in the city, and 43.6% of occupied ones are rented, so leases ending, roommates changing and furniture moving between homes happen on every street.
Post-War Houses and Older Complexes Along Folsom Boulevard
ZIP 95670 holds most of the older housing. Census estimates count about 3,180 homes from the 1940s and 3,430 from the 1950s here, plus thousands more from the 1960s and 1970s. Apartment buildings line Folsom Boulevard near the Gold Line stations between Mather Field/Mills and Sunrise.
- Small post-war houses often have wall heaters, original wood floors and hollow door frames. We check the gaps around those along with the mattress and bed frame.
- Older apartment buildings share plumbing walls between units. One confirmed unit means we suggest checking the homes on each side and above or below.
New Homes South of Douglas Road: Bugs Come in the Moving Boxes
South of Douglas Road, city records list subdivisions such as Montelena, Sunridge Lot J, Arista Del Sol and Anatolia IV, with hundreds of new single family homes each. A new house has no bugs on the day the keys change hands. They show up later, packed in with the family that moves in.
- Mattresses and box springs carried over from an apartment or an older house.
- Furniture kept in a storage unit while the house was being built.
- A shared moving truck or moving blankets used by many other households.
- Secondhand dressers, couches and kids' beds bought to fill extra rooms.

Rancho Cordova Bed Bug FAQ
Which Rancho Cordova ZIP codes do you cover?
Both. 95670 is the older north and central part of town along Folsom Boulevard, the Gold Line and Coloma Road, and it also serves unincorporated Gold River by the American River. 95742 is the newer south and east side around Douglas Road, Sunridge and Anatolia. Each ZIP has its own page on this site.
We just moved into a brand new house south of Douglas Road. How could it have bed bugs?
New construction does not keep bed bugs out, because the bugs arrive with people and their things. A mattress from your last home, a couch bought secondhand, boxes kept in a storage unit or a moving truck used by many families can all carry them in. We look at the pieces that came with you before anything else.
I rent an older apartment off Folsom Boulevard. What should I do first?
Write to your manager or landlord the same day you suspect bed bugs, and keep a dated copy. In older complexes, bugs can follow pipe chases and wall gaps into the next unit, so the homes beside, above and below yours should be checked too. Under AB 551 the landlord must share inspection results with affected tenants within 2 business days.
Is Gold River part of Rancho Cordova?
No. Gold River is an unincorporated community of Sacramento County that shares the 95670 ZIP code. Rancho Cordova itself became a city on July 1, 2003. We treat homes in Gold River and inside city limits the same way, and AB 551 protects renters in both.
How much does bed bug treatment cost in Rancho Cordova?
Price follows the number of infested rooms, the square footage and the method chosen. Angi's 2026 US averages put a visual inspection at $65 to $200, a single treated room at $200 to $400 and a whole house at $1,500 to $6,200. We give you a written Rancho Cordova price after our inspection.
How it works: Bed Bug Control CA handles bed bug work from the first inspection to the final check. We schedule a licensed technician to check your Rancho Cordova home. Treatment starts only after you approve the written quote.
