Bed bugs are travelers, not a sign of a dirty home. They ride along in luggage, sleeping bags, used furniture and bedding, then settle close to wherever people sleep.
Friant is a small unincorporated community in Fresno County, about 11 miles north of Clovis, sitting on the San Joaquin River at the foot of Friant Dam. The Census counted 446 people in the Friant CDP in 2020 in about 216 occupied homes, roughly 4 in 5 of them owner occupied. The place started in 1852 as Converse Ferry, a river crossing, and later went by Jones Ferry, Hamptonville and Pollasky before taking the name Friant in the 1920s.
Friant Dam was finished in 1942 and stands 319 feet tall. The water behind it, Millerton Lake, covered the old town of Millerton, the first county seat of Fresno County. Today Millerton Lake State Recreation Area, the Fresno County Lost Lake Recreation Area just downstream and Table Mountain Casino Resort nearby bring a steady flow of campers, boaters and day visitors through the area.
Campers, Trailers and Boats at Millerton and Lost Lake
Competitor pages for this area barely mention Friant and skip the camping life around it. Millerton Lake has tent and group sites, RV sites with hookups and boat-in camps along more than 40 miles of shoreline, and Lost Lake has 37 campsites 2 miles below the dam.
A rig with beds and cushions can carry bed bugs as easily as a guest room. Tips for owners:
- After every trip, pull the RV mattress back and look along the seams, the bed platform and the dinette cushions with a flashlight.
- Dry sleeping bags, pillows and camp bedding on high heat for at least 30 minutes as soon as you get home.
- Mention any trailer, camper or cabin boat when you call, since a rig may need its own plan.
Summer Heat, Parked Rigs and Timing Treatment
Summer days in this part of the San Joaquin Valley often pass 100°F. A parked car or trailer may feel like an oven, but the heat inside is uneven and bugs survive in shaded seams, so do not count on it.
Hot weather does shape a real heat treatment. Crews often start early, and a warm house may reach target sooner. Ask whether the rig can be treated the same day as the house.

Friant Bed Bug Questions
Friant is tiny. Does it have its own city government?
No. Friant is an unincorporated community that the Census tracks as a CDP, and it counted 446 people in 2020. Fresno County is the local government. Bed bug work in a home, cabin or rental is arranged directly between you and a licensed pest control company.
We camp at Millerton Lake every summer. Can bed bugs ride home in our trailer?
They can. Bed bugs travel in bedding, pillows, duffel bags and cushions, and an RV or trailer is simply another place people sleep. If you wake up with new bites after a trip, check the mattress seams and dinette cushions in the rig before you check the house.
Our ZIP is 93626 but we live up in the hills, not in the old town. Are we covered?
Yes. ZIP 93626 reaches far past the small Friant CDP into the hills around Millerton Lake, and we connect callers anywhere in it. Give the company your road and any gate details when you call.
What does bed bug treatment cost for a Friant home?
Angi lists 2026 US averages of about $200 to $400 for every room treated, and a whole house often runs $1,500 to $6,200. The real number is the written quote a licensed company gives you after looking at your home.
Is a fogger from the store worth trying first?
Usually not. When Ohio State researchers tested 3 store foggers, the bed bugs barely noticed, and the fog can push survivors into outlets, trim cracks and the next bedroom.
