A bed bug case says nothing about housekeeping. The bugs ride along in duffel bags, blankets, secondhand mattresses and couches, then settle close to the people who sleep there.
Five Points is an unincorporated farm community on the Westside of Fresno County, about 25 miles northeast of Coalinga, at an elevation of roughly 223 feet. It has no city government and no separate Census count of its own. State Route 145 comes in from the southwest as Fresno-Coalinga Road and turns north onto Lassen Avenue here, and State Route 269 ends at the same junction after running north from Huron. The post office opened in 1944. A 1978 account put the population near 100 and joked that all of Five Points could be seen from any point in it.
The ZIP around it is much larger. About 800 people live in 93624 (rounded Census estimate), roughly 78% of occupied homes are rented and households average about 4 people. Full houses and frequent move-ins give a stray bug more than one way to spread.
Rural Addresses and a PO Box ZIP
None of the competitor pages we looked at for Five Points said anything useful about reaching a farm home on the Westside,.
- Many residents collect mail at the post office, so give the road and nearest cross avenue, not only a box number.
- Mention locked gates, yard dogs or a dirt lane ahead of time.
- If more than one house or trailer on the property has beds, list each one so the quote covers all of them.
Employer Housing, Older Farmhouses and Summer Heat
Much of the housing in 93624 was built in the 1940s or the 1980s, and a large share is rented or tied to farm work. Under California's Employee Housing Act, rules apply wherever an employer houses 5 or more workers. Bed bugs are not linked to any job or any group of people. The real risk is shared bedrooms and turnover, where one mattress may be used by several people in a year.
- Have each room with beds inspected before a new crew or family moves in.
- Older farmhouse wiring should be checked before a heat crew plugs in its heaters.
- Summer days here often pass 100°F, but a hot truck or shed will not reliably kill bugs hiding in seat seams or stored bedding.

Five Points Bed Bug Questions
Five Points is only a crossroads. Will a pest company really drive out here?
Yes. Licensed companies based in the Fresno area and along the Westside take jobs at farm homes and small rural communities, and many group rural visits by day.
93624 is a PO box ZIP and my mail goes to the post office. Can I still get a quote?
Of course. The ZIP is listed as a PO box ZIP, yet about 800 people live across its roughly 144 square miles. Share the road you live on, such as Lassen Avenue, Mount Whitney Avenue or Excelsior Avenue, so the technician can find the house.
I live in housing my employer provides. Who is supposed to handle bed bugs?
Report what you found in writing to the housing manager or your supervisor and keep a dated copy. The employer or owner of the housing arranges the inspection and treatment. If you pay rent to a landlord instead, tell the landlord the same way.
How much does bed bug treatment cost for a house near Five Points?
The home size, the number of rooms with bugs and the method all move the price. Angi's 2026 US figures put treatment at about $200 to $400 a room, and a whole-house job commonly lands between $1,500 and $6,200. The written quote after the inspection is what to plan around.
Can I just set off a fogger from the farm supply store?
Almost never. Researchers at Ohio State set off 3 over-the-counter foggers near live bed bugs and saw little or no kill.
