Citrus Heights counted 87,583 residents in the 2020 Census on about 14.2 square miles of land. The area was first known as Sylvan, and around 1910 a land agent split it into 10 acre lots and gave it the Citrus Heights name. It grew into a large suburb of Sacramento and became its own city on January 1, 1997. Sunrise Mall has drawn shoppers since 1972.
Bed bugs do not come from dirt or clutter. They ride in on suitcases, laundry bags, used mattresses and visitors, then stay close to wherever people sleep or sit. The Census counts 35,928 housing units in the city, and about 42% of occupied homes are rented, so moves, roommates and furniture changing hands are part of daily life here.
1960s Ranch Houses: Where Bed Bugs Hide in Older Citrus Heights Homes
Census estimates put the 1960s as the busiest building decade in both Citrus Heights ZIP codes, with more than 7,100 homes from that decade in each one. Many are single-story ranch houses that have been remodeled several times, and each change can leave new hiding spots.
- Converted garages and added family rooms often serve as extra bedrooms. Seams where new walls meet old ones open small cracks, so we check trim and outlet plates there closely.
- Wood paneling and original built-in shelves leave narrow gaps behind boards. Bugs that move off a bed tuck into these gaps within a few feet.
- Older carpet and worn baseboards leave a dark space at the tack strip that we lift and inspect.
Apartment Complexes Along Greenback, Sunrise and Auburn
Rented homes make up close to half of the housing in 95610 and about a third in 95621, and many sit in garden-style complexes along Greenback Lane, Sunrise Boulevard and Auburn Boulevard. When units share walls, one confirmed case is rarely the whole story.
- We inspect the reporting unit first, then recommend checking the units on each side and the one above or below.
- Gaps around plumbing lines, wall heaters and shared outlets are sealed or treated so bugs have fewer paths between homes.
- Managers get a written report they can share with tenants within the 2 business day window AB 551 sets.

Citrus Heights Tenants: Your Bed Bug Rights

- A landlord cannot show, rent or lease a unit they know has bed bugs.
- After a licensed pest control operator inspects, the landlord must share the findings with affected tenants within 2 business days.

Citrus Heights Bed Bug FAQ
Which Citrus Heights ZIP codes do you work in?
Both of them. 95610 is the east and central side with Sunrise Mall, the Sunrise MarketPlace district and the Birdcage Heights and Sylvan Old Auburn Road neighborhoods. 95621 is the west and north side toward Interstate 80 and Antelope. Each ZIP code has its own page here.
My house was built in the 1960s. Does that change how you look for bed bugs?
It changes where we look. Homes from that decade often have wood paneling, original built-in shelving, converted garages and gaps under old baseboards. We check those spots along with the bed, because bugs that leave the mattress settle into the nearest crack.
I rent an apartment off Greenback Lane and my neighbor has bed bugs. What should I do?
Tell your landlord or manager in writing right away, even if you have no bites yet. Bugs can travel through gaps around pipes and outlets in shared walls, so the units on each side of a confirmed case should be checked. AB 551 requires the landlord to share inspection results with affected tenants.
Is Citrus Heights its own city, or part of Sacramento?
It is its own city. Voters approved incorporation in November 1996, and the city has run its own government since January 1, 1997. Some addresses with a Citrus Heights ZIP code sit just outside city limits in unincorporated Sacramento County, and we treat those homes the same way.
What does bed bug treatment cost in Citrus Heights?
Room count, home size and the treatment chosen all move the number. Angi's 2026 US averages list $65 to $200 for a visual inspection, $200 to $400 per treated room and $1,500 to $6,200 for a whole house. Your exact Citrus Heights price comes in writing after we inspect.
