As a Northern Kentuckian, I always love when I can claim Kentucky ranks highest or first at something… well, almost always.
With fall finally here and Halloween just around the corner, Terminix has released their list of the top 50 bed bug cities in America, for 2021. They remind us that bed bugs spread easily by hitching rides on luggage, backpacks, and clothing, and can even crawl through cracks in the walls. To come up with their 50-city list, they looked at bed bug-specific service data from Terminix branches across the country from January through August 2021. Did you just feel an itch???
“The top five cities on this year’s most infested list include Los Angeles claiming the top spot, followed by Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, and New York City. Thirteen states had more than one city on the list, including Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.”
Unfortunately, our region is still battling this issue and it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon.
