A can of bug spray only reaches the few bugs you can actually see. Most of the colony stays tucked into bed frame joints, carpet edges and the backs of dressers, and many populations carry resistance to the active ingredients sold in stores. Eggs keep hatching the whole time, and spraying at random can push survivors into another bedroom.

Bed bugs do not come from dirt, livestock or crops. They travel with people in suitcases, used mattresses and secondhand chairs, and they turn up in spotless homes too.
Dixon is a city of about 19,000 people (2020 Census) on Interstate 80 between Vacaville and Davis, with State Route 113 running north toward Woodland. Many residents commute toward Sacramento or the Bay Area, guests stop at hotels along the freeway, and the fairgrounds draw big crowds each year. About 35% of occupied homes in ZIP 95620 are rented, and the bulk of the housing went up in the 1960s and 1980s. Steady travel, guests and move-ins give bed bugs plenty of ways to arrive.
Fair Season, Lambtown and Out of Town Guests
The Dixon May Fair, run on the fairgrounds at 655 South First Street, dates to 1885 and is billed as California's oldest fair. It has drawn upward of 60,000 visitors in past years, and the same grounds host the Lambtown Festival each fall. Big event weekends fill local guest rooms, spare beds and RVs.
- If relatives or friends stay over for the fair, wash their bedding on high heat once they leave and check the mattress seams.
- Exhibitors and vendors who sleep in trailers or campers should look over bunk cushions before the next trip.
- After a hotel stay on the road, unpack bags in the garage or laundry room, not on the bed.
Farm Country Homes and Seasonal Worker Housing
Most of ZIP 95620 is farmland, and Dixon has long been a dairy and crop town with a canning plant among its top employers. Out here a property may hold a main house plus a second home, a mobile unit or bunk quarters used during harvest. The 2020 Census even counted a small number of units held vacant for migrant workers.
Bed bugs spread in any shared sleeping space with frequent turnover, so these spots deserve a careful check. Growers who provide housing for 5 or more employees fall under California's Employee Housing Act and should keep inspection and treatment records. Rural jobs take extra planning, since our technicians may drive in from Vacaville, Davis or Sacramento.

Dixon Bed Bug Questions
Is every part of Dixon covered, including the farms outside town?
Yes. ZIP 95620 takes in the whole city plus a large stretch of farmland around it, about 241 square miles in all. Quotes are available for homes downtown, in the newer subdivisions and on rural parcels alike.
We went to the May Fair and now have bites. Could we have picked up bed bugs there?
It is possible but not likely from one outing, since bed bugs live where people sleep rather than on fairground rides or in barns. A trip with a hotel night, a visiting guest or a used item is a more common source. An inspection is the way to know for sure.
I rent a house in Dixon. What do I do first?
Write to your landlord or manager, note the date you sent it and hold on to a copy. Under AB 551 the landlord must share a licensed inspector's findings with affected tenants within 2 business days, and cannot rent out a unit they know has bed bugs.
How much does bed bug treatment usually cost here?
Price follows the size of the home, the rooms involved and the method picked. Angi's US averages put room treatment at about $200 to $400, with whole-house work commonly between $1,500 and $6,200. Plan around the written quote you receive after the inspection.
Can I leave bedding in a hot car to kill the bugs?
Dixon summers get very hot, but a parked car does not heat evenly or for long enough to be reliable, and bugs hide in the coolest folds. Use a clothes dryer on high heat for bedding and leave the rest to our licensed technicians.
How it works: Bed Bug Control CA runs its own bed bug inspections and treatments. A licensed technician comes out to your Dixon address to look for signs. We quote in writing, then treat once you say yes.
