Orkin: Pittsburgh Among Top 10 Bed Bug Cities

Pest control company Orkin ranks Pittsburgh within the top 10 cities with the highest rates of bed bug infestations. Pittsburgh came in ninth this year, three spots higher in the rankings than last year. Chicago maintained its spot at the top of the list. Orkin in a news release said bed bugs can be found anywhere, but densely populated cities and areas with high turnover — like hotels or dorms — can increase opportunities for the bugs to spread. Other cities high on the list include Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Columbus and Washington, D.C.
