The Worst Bed Bug Cities In America

BedBug Guy is  cray cray obsessive

It’s probably safe to say that the idea of bed bugs gives most people the creeps. Sadly, it seems folks in some cities have a little bit more to worry about when it comes to the gross creatures.

The Orkin pest control company just revealed their annual bed bug city rankings. If you don’t want to deal with them, you may want to stay away from Baltimore. Data shows Orkin performed the most bed bug treatments from December 1, 2016 – November 30, 2017. This is the second year in a row Baltimore has topped the list, which isn’t good, especially since before last year they never even made it into the Top Five. 

On the plus side, some cities saw improvements, like New York, which fell four spots to number eight this year, and Orlando, which dropped off the list completely. But some some cities seem to be getting worse, with San Diego and Albany returning to the Top 50, and New Orleans and Flint, Michigan making the Top 50 for the first time.
