We cover ZIP code 95464, the single ZIP for Nice, California.

Bed bugs do not come from dirt or lake water. They ride in with people, in suitcases, used beds and couches.
Nice began as a lake resort called Clear Lake Villas. Charles William Bayne renamed it around 1930 after his former hometown of Nice, France, and the post office opened that same year. The community sits at roughly 1,360 feet on Highway 20, and the county tourism office calls it the first stop for drivers heading east along the North Shore.
The 2020 Census counted 2,929 people in the Nice CDP, up from 2,731 in 2010, with a median age of about 48. Out of roughly 1,530 housing units, about 18 percent stood empty on Census day. Many homes went up in the 1950s and 1960s, which means plenty of aged trim, paneling and furniture where bugs can settle.
Timeshare Condos, Casino Stays and Lake Season Visitors
Most pest control pages for this corner of Lake County just list companies based in Santa Rosa, Petaluma or farther away, with no bed bug prices, tenant law or local housing detail. What sets Nice apart is how many people sleep here for only a few nights.
WorldMark Clear Lake, a timeshare condo resort, stands on the grounds of a 1920s resort that once operated in town, and Robinson Rancheria Resort & Casino on Highway 20 has its own hotel. Around 147 homes in ZIP 95464 are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, so luggage keeps moving in and out all summer.
- Owners who rent a lake house to visitors can strip and look over every mattress and sofa bed between groups.
- After a hotel or condo stay, unpack in the garage or on a tile floor and dry worn clothes on high heat.
- Report bites at a resort to the front desk in writing, and keep photos of any bugs or stains you find.
Older Homes and a Large Share of Renters
About 37 percent of occupied homes in the Nice CDP were rented in 2020, a higher share than in many small lake towns. Bugs in one unit of a duplex can reach the next through shared walls.
Mention any shared wall so both units get checked.

Renting in Nice? California Law Protects You
California Civil Code 1954.600 to 1954.605, known as AB 551, sets out landlord duties and tenant protections for bed bugs everywhere in the state. A rented lake cottage or duplex in an unincorporated Lake County community is covered the same as a big city apartment.
- Landlords must give tenants a written bed bug notice.
- 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.
- Tenants who report bed bugs are protected from retaliation.
With more than a third of occupied homes in Nice rented, many households rely on these rules. Report bed bugs to the landlord or manager in writing, include the date and keep a copy for yourself.
Bed Bug Treatment Costs in Nice

Nice, CA Bed Bug Questions
Is this page about Nice, France?
No. This page covers Nice, CA, a small community on the north shore of Clear Lake in Lake County, California, with ZIP code 95464 and area code 707. It was named after the French city around 1930, which is why the two share a name.
Does Nice have a city hall or code office that handles bed bugs?
No. Nice is a census-designated place in Lake County with no city government of its own. Homeowners arrange treatment directly, and renters give written notice to the landlord or manager.
We stayed at a lakeside resort and came home with bites. What now?
Tell the front desk or resort manager in writing so they can inspect the unit. At home, put the luggage in a hard floored room, run worn clothes through a hot dryer and book a licensed inspection if bites keep showing up after you get back.
How much does bed bug treatment cost for a home in 95464?
As a starting point, Angi's 2026 US averages put one treated room near $200 to $400 and a whole house near $1,500 to $6,200. House size, the method and the drive out to the north shore all change the figure, so plan around the written quote.
Can I knock them out with a fogger from the hardware store?
Not likely. Ohio State researchers found store foggers had little or no effect on bed bugs. The spray can also push the bugs into wall gaps and other rooms, which makes the later professional job bigger.
