"Orkin's 2022 Ranking of America's Worst Bed Bug Cities Revealed"

Pest control company Orkin has released its annual list of the 50 worst American cities for bedbugs, with Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia topping the rankings. The list is based on treatment data from major metro areas, and some cities have seen significant changes in their rankings compared to the previous year. Bedbugs are resilient pests that can easily travel and are commonly found in mattresses, box springs, and bedding. To prevent infestations, the EPA recommends checking for signs of bedbugs in secondhand furniture, using protective covers on mattresses, and being cautious when traveling. If infested, treatment options include washing and drying linens at high temperatures, using steam cleaners, vacuuming, and seeking professional extermination services.
