In case you needed another reason for a staycation, Orkin
has released a list of the American cities with the most bed bugs. These are
the places that received the most bed bug treatments – residential and
commercial – between December 1, 2018 and November 30, 2019. Washington D.C.
and Baltimore were numbers one and two (they’re usually at the very top of the
list) followed by Chicago, Los Angeles, Columbus, New York, Detroit,
Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Atlanta. Essentially, you’ll find the most of
these little nasties wherever you find the most humans. Bed bugs are about the
same size, shape and color of apple seeds. They’re excellent hitchhikers. If
you want to avoid becoming their food source, use white sheets and pillow
cases. Don’t buy second-hand furniture or bedding. Change sheets and vacuum frequently.
Get your own washer and dryer so you can skip the laundromat. Never put your
luggage on a hotel bed. Or just stay home.
