A bug bomb drifts onto tabletops and carpet, but bed bugs spend the day packed inside mattress piping, bed frame joints and the crack behind the baseboard. The fog seldom reaches them, and it never touches the eggs.

Canoga Park is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles in the west San Fernando Valley, with Chatsworth to the north, Winnetka to the east, Woodland Hills to the south and West Hills to the west. Wikipedia lists about 4.4 square miles for the neighborhood and reports that roughly 64% of homes are rented. The 2020 Census counted about 80,800 people across ZIP codes 91303 and 91304 combined, a total that includes the West Hills side of 91304.
The town was founded as Owensmouth in 1912, became part of Los Angeles in 1917 and was renamed in 1931. After Rocketdyne opened its plant here in 1955, aerospace jobs filled the area with tract houses and, later, apartment buildings. Older rentals, shared walls and steady move-ins give bed bugs easy paths between homes.
Secondhand Finds From Old Antique Alley
The stretch of Sherman Way known today as Main Street Canoga Park was once nicknamed Antique Alley, and used furniture still changes hands all over the neighborhood through shops, yard sales and online listings. A dresser, headboard or upholstered chair can carry bed bugs or eggs no matter where it came from.
- Look over the piece in the driveway or garage, never in a bedroom.
- Pull out every drawer and check the corners, runners, joints and screw holes with a flashlight.
- On upholstered items, run a card along the seams and under the dust cover for dark dots, shed skins or eggs.
Dense 1940s Rentals in the 91303 Core
ZIP 91303 packs about 13,500 people into each square mile, and Census figures show roughly 3 out of every 4 occupied homes there are rented. The most common decade of construction is the 1940s. Apartments and duplexes along and near Sherman Way share walls, ceilings and pipe chases, so a case that starts in one unit can reach the next one through outlet boxes and plumbing gaps.
- Report signs to your landlord in writing as soon as you see them, and keep the date.
- Ask that the units on each side, above and below be checked, not only yours.

Canoga Park Renters and AB 551
AB 551, written into California Civil Code sections 1954.600 to 1954.605, spells out bed bug duties for landlords and tenants statewide. In Canoga Park that covers apartment buildings, duplexes, rented houses, back units and single rooms rented in a shared home.
- 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.
Canoga Park renters also live under City of Los Angeles housing law. The Los Angeles Housing Department applies the Rent Stabilization Ordinance to most rental units first built on or before October 1, 1978, which includes many 1940s to 1960s buildings here. That law is about rent and evictions, not pests, so send your bed bug report to the landlord in writing.

I bought a dresser at a secondhand shop. How do I check it for bed bugs?
Check it outside or in the garage before it comes in. Pull every drawer, shine a flashlight into the corners, joints, drawer runners and screw holes, and look for dark dots, pale shells or tiny white eggs. If you see anything, leave it out and call us for an inspection.
Most of my building is rented. Who pays for treatment if I find bed bugs?
Under AB 551, landlords in California handle bed bug inspection and treatment in rentals once a licensed pest control operator confirms the problem. Tell your landlord in writing and keep a copy. Tenants who brought in an infested item can still be asked to help with prep.
