These U.S. Cities are Teeming with Bed Bugs

Pests

Bed bugs are tiny but can cause big problems once they invaded your home. Pest control provider Orkin has compiled a list of American cities where most people got unlucky and got infested with the blood-sucking insect in 2018.

On top of that list is Baltimore with most exterminations recorded. The city had already been the most popular spot for bed bug infestations in 2017. Rising in the bed bugs’ favor were Los Angeles, Cincinnati and Dallas-Fort Worth. Less infestations were recorded in New York, which has been known as a hotbed for bed bug activity but seems to be making progress tackling the problem.
