Bed bugs do not come from dirt. People carry them in suitcases, used furniture and secondhand bedding, and they settle near beds and couches.
Bodega is a tiny unincorporated village in west Sonoma County, recorded as a census designated place with about 210 residents in the 2020 Census. It sits on Salmon Creek where the Bodega Highway heads east toward Freestone and Sebastopol, less than a mile north of Highway 1 and roughly 4 miles inland from Bodega Bay. Captain Stephen Smith built a lumber mill here in 1843, and St. Teresa of Avila Church went up in 1859.
Visitors stop in all year. Fans of Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film The Birds come to see the church and the old Potter School, which played the schoolhouse in the movie and is now a private home. Galleries, an antiques shop, the country store and a small lodging also pull in coast traffic.
Bodega Bay, the harbor town on the coast, is a separate community. If you live or rent there, see the Bodega Bay bed bug page.
Ranches, Farm Stays and Guest Cottages
Much of ZIP 94922 is grazing land and creekside ranch property. Some owners host paying guests in tent sites, cabins or treehouse stays listed on Hipcamp and similar sites, and many ranches keep a guest cottage or bunkhouse apart from the main house, each one another place for bugs to hide.
- Keep a simple log of which guests stayed in which cottage or tent cabin, so a bite report can be traced to one building.
- Check bunk frames, cot seams and any shared linens between stays, not only the main house beds.
- Ask the pest company to inspect every building with a bed in it, since bugs travel on linens moved between them.
Antiques, Estate Finds and Old Buildings
Bodega has an antiques shop and several galleries, and older homes in the area often fill up with inherited or secondhand pieces. Used upholstered chairs, headboards and vintage mattresses are a classic way for bed bugs to reach a house that has never had them. Inspect any used piece outdoors before carrying it in, especially fabric welting, dust covers and wood joints.
Older frame houses here often have gaps along trim and floorboards, so ask how the company will treat those seams as well as the beds.

Bodega Bed Bug Questions
Is Bodega the same place as Bodega Bay?
No. Bodega is the small inland village on Salmon Creek and the Bodega Highway, with its own ZIP code, 94922. Bodega Bay is the harbor town on the coast about 4 miles away, with ZIP 94923,, and it has its own page on this network.
We run a farm stay or guest cottage on a Bodega ranch. What should we do after a bite complaint?
Hold off on the next check-in for that cottage, tent cabin or bunk room, leave the bed exactly as the guest left it and ask for photos of any bites or bugs. Then book an inspection so the cause is confirmed before the next guests arrive.
I bought an old upholstered chair at an antique shop. Should I worry?
Bed bugs can ride in on any used furniture, old or new. Look along the welting, under the dust cover and in the wood joints with a flashlight before the piece comes inside, and if you see dark spotting, pale shells or live bugs, keep it outdoors and call for an inspection.
What does bed bug treatment cost for a Bodega home?
It depends on square footage, how many rooms or outbuildings have bugs and which method is used. Angi puts the 2026 US average near $200 to $400 per room, with full-house jobs commonly $1,500 to $6,200. Rely on the written quote you receive after the inspection.
Would a bug bomb from the hardware store handle it?
Almost never. Ohio State testing found retail foggers did little or nothing to bed bugs, and in a farmhouse or cottage the mist can chase them into wall gaps and other bedrooms.
