"Orkin Ranks Top U.S. Cities for Worst Bed Bug Problems"

Pest control company Orkin has identified Chicago as the city with the worst bed bug problem in the U.S. for the fourth consecutive year, followed by New York and Philadelphia. While not disease transmitters, bed bugs can cause allergic reactions and are difficult to control. Orkin advises vigilance in pest identification and control, especially during travel. This ranking comes after Orkin previously labeled Chicago as the most rodent-infested city in 2023, with Norway rats posing the biggest rodent problem.
