Bridgeport sits at about 6,600 feet in the middle of the Bridgeport Valley, with the Sierra Nevada to the west, the Sweetwater Mountains to the north and the Bodie Hills to the east. The place was once called Big Meadows, its first post office opened in 1864, and the Italianate Mono County Courthouse on Main Street has served the county since 1880. Bridgeport Reservoir, a dam on the East Walker River, marks the northwest edge of town.
About 770 people live in the whole 93517 ZIP, which stretches across more than 330 square miles. Of its roughly 660 homes, around half are kept for seasonal or occasional use, so many beds stay empty for months and then fill all at once when owners, renters and visiting family arrive.
Fishing Opener, Fourth of July and Main Street Motels
US 395 runs right down Main Street, and travelers bound for Mammoth Lakes, Carson City or Bodie State Historic Park stop overnight in local motels and inns. Bodie, about 12 miles east-southeast by way of Hwy 270, draws roughly 200,000 visitors a year.
The trout season opener in April and the Bridgeport Trout Tournament in June fill rooms and RV sites near the reservoir and Twin Lakes, which produced the California state record brown trout. The Old Fashioned Fourth of July, a multi-day event with a parade, rodeo and fireworks, has run for more than 150 years.
- Motel and rental owners can look over mattress seams, headboards and luggage stands every time a room turns over during these busy weeks.
- Anglers and campers should run sleeping bags, pillows and road clothes through a hot dryer for 30 minutes or more once they get home.
Cabins That Sit Closed for Months, and a Team That Travels 50 Miles or More
Many cabins toward Twin Lakes and the reservoir open in spring and close in fall. Bed bugs can go months without a meal in a cool, shut cabin, so last summer's problem may greet next season's first guests.
There is no pest control office in Bridgeport. Our technicians usually drive in from Mammoth Lakes, from the Bishop area, or from Nevada, and Carson City alone is about 81 miles away. January lows here average about 10°F, and winter closures on routes such as Sonora Pass on Hwy 108 and the roads to Bodie limit options in the cold months.
- A Nevada company still needs a California Structural Pest Control Board license before it can treat a building in Mono County.
- See if one trip can cover both the inspection and the opening treatment.
- Have any mileage or travel fee shown as a separate line on the quote.

Bridgeport Tenants Have State Protection
California Civil Code 1954.600 to 1954.605, known as AB 551, spells out bed bug rules for landlords and renters everywhere in California. That includes apartments, rented houses and cabins in unincorporated Mono County.
- 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.
More than 4 in 10 occupied homes in 93517 are rentals. If you rent and spot bed bugs, tell your landlord in writing, date the note and keep a copy for yourself.
What Bed Bug Treatment Costs
Final prices depend on square footage, affected rooms and method. As a starting point, Angi's 2026 US averages put a visual inspection at $65 to $200, a K9 search at $300 to $600 and treatment at $200 to $400 per room, with whole-home jobs often between $1,500 and $6,200. Long Eastern Sierra drives can raise the total.
Bridgeport Bed Bug Questions
Is Bridgeport an incorporated town?
No. Bridgeport is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place, even though it is the county seat of Mono County. The 2020 Census counted 553 people in the CDP. We accept requests from any address in ZIP 93517.
How far does your team drive to reach Bridgeport?
Usually 50 miles or more. Our technicians travel in from Mammoth Lakes, the Bishop area or western Nevada, so ask how the drive affects the date and price.
A guest at our Main Street motel found bites. What should we do first?
Take that room off the booking list, bag the sheets without shaking them, leave the mattress in place and ask for an inspection.
What does bed bug treatment usually cost in 93517?
On Angi's 2026 US averages, one treated room is often $200 to $400 and a whole house $1,500 to $6,200. A travel charge may apply, so go by the written quote.
Our cabin sits empty all winter at well below freezing. Will that kill the bugs?
Not reliably. EPA guidance says bed bugs need about 4 days at 0°F to die, and the inside of a mattress, a wall void or a dresser drawer rarely stays that cold for that long, even in a valley that once hit 37 below.
How it works: Bed Bug Control CA handles bed bug work from the first inspection to the final check. We schedule a licensed technician to check your Bridgeport home. We quote in writing, then treat once you say yes.
