Bed bugs are travelers, not a sign of a dirty house. They ride in duffel bags, moving boxes and used mattresses, then settle wherever people sleep.
Lemoore is a Kings County city of about 27,000 people in the 2020 Census, about 7.5 miles west of Hanford on Highway 198. Naval Air Station Lemoore, a master jet base for Navy F/A-18 and F-35 squadrons, sits just west of town, so households arrive and leave on a regular cycle. Census figures show close to half of occupied homes in the city are rented, which means many beds and couches change hands.
PCS Moves and Military Households Near NAS Lemoore
Military families move on orders every few years, and a permanent change of station often means hotel nights on the road, a stay in temporary lodging and a household of furniture that sat in a truck or storage unit. The base itself has a Navy Lodge with 66 rooms and Navy Gateway Inns and Suites with 141 rooms for people in transit. That does not make service members a bed bug source; it just means more bags and furniture passing through more places.
- Unpack suitcases from every hotel or lodging stop on a hard floor or in the garage, not on the bed.

Lemoore Bed Bug FAQ
Which Lemoore ZIP codes can get a free quote?
Homes in Lemoore use 93245, which covers the city, the Lemoore Station family housing on the Navy base and the farm roads around town. ZIP 93246 is a special ZIP assigned to Naval Air Station Lemoore itself. Give us the street address where you actually sleep and we will sort out the rest.
We just got PCS orders to NAS Lemoore. How do we avoid bringing bed bugs along?
Moving does not cause bed bugs, but trucks, storage units and hotel stops are where hitchhikers get picked up. Inspect furniture as the movers unload it, keep suitcases from temporary lodging off the beds, and run clothing from the trip through a hot dryer before it goes into closets.
I live in on-base family housing. Who handles a bed bug problem?
Family housing at NAS Lemoore is run by Liberty Military Housing, so put in a maintenance request with them first and keep a record of it. The Navy Housing Service Center can help if the request stalls. If you rent off base in town, AB 551 and your landlord's duties apply instead.
How much does bed bug treatment cost in Lemoore?
It depends on square footage, the rooms with activity and the method. Angi's 2026 national figures run about $200 to $400 per room, and whole-home jobs often land between $1,500 and $6,200. The written quote after a Lemoore inspection is the number that counts.
Should I spray the bedroom before the inspector comes?
No. Over-the-counter sprays scatter bugs into walls and other rooms and can hide the evidence the technician needs. Leave the room as it is, wash the bedding on hot and wait for the visit.
