Bed bugs ride in on luggage, backpacks and used furniture, and they feed on blood, not crumbs. Buena Park had 84,034 residents in the 2020 Census and about 25,600 housing units, with roughly 54% owned and 46% rented. Founded in 1887 as a farm town and incorporated in 1953, it grew from 46,401 people in 1960 to 63,646 in 1970, so most streets are lined with mid century homes and apartment buildings. Interstate 5, State Route 91 and Beach Boulevard carry heavy traffic through town, and the Entertainment Corridor and The Source OC draw visitors from across Southern California.
Seasonal Park Jobs and Long Days Away From Home
Knott's Berry Farm is one of the largest employers in town. In 2023 it held a hiring event aimed at more than 2,500 seasonal workers, from ride operators and food service staff to lifeguards, with jobs open to people 16 and older. Many are local teens and young adults living with family, and other residents ride the Metrolink Orange County Line or 91/Perris Valley Line from the Buena Park station.
A job or a train ride does not cause bed bugs, but break rooms and cloth seats are where many bags sit side by side. A few habits help:
- Use a zipped bag with smooth sides for work, school or the train, and keep it off beds and couches at home.
- Run work uniforms and costumes through a hot dryer for 30 minutes after a shift.

Buena Park Bed Bug Questions
Which Buena Park ZIP codes do you treat?
Both residential ones: 90620 in the south around Knott's Berry Farm, and 90621 in the center and north around The Source OC and the Metrolink station. 90622 and 90624 are post office box ZIPs with no homes.
My teenager has a seasonal job at a Beach Boulevard park. Do we need to do anything?
Nothing dramatic. A job does not cause bed bugs, but a stray bug can climb into any bag left in a crowded break room. A zipped bag kept off the bed and a hot dryer cycle for the uniform cover most of the risk.
The apartment next to mine in 90621 has bed bugs. Should my unit be checked?
Yes. Bugs can walk through gaps around pipes and outlets into the unit next door. Ask the owner in writing to include your unit, and keep a dated copy. AB 551 gives the owner 2 business days to pass a licensed inspector's results to affected tenants.
Can bed bugs come home from a train seat or a theater seat?
It can happen, though it is not common. A bag resting on a cloth seat or the floor is the likelier ride. Keep bags on your lap and check them before they go into a bedroom.
How much does bed bug treatment cost in Buena Park?
It turns on the number of rooms with bugs, the home size and the method. See the cost section above for Angi's 2026 US averages. The written quote after our inspection is your actual price.
