As winter has faded into spring, no doubt every time you step outside it’s a fight with whatever bugs decided to congregate outside of your front door.

It’s a battle Texans deal with every single day, especially those living in Dallas, one of the buggiest cities in the nation.


A new study from Yelp actually found Dallas to the fourth buggiest city in the nation, trailing only Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York.

It doesn’t look like our bug problems will be going away any time soon, either.

Tara Lewis, Yelp’s trend expert and vice president of community expansion, said in a statement, “Spring is when pest activity really ramps up, and the best defense is getting ahead of it before a small issue becomes a big expense.

Whether you’re spotting a swarm in the yard or trying to keep mosquitoes from taking over your outdoor space, Yelp can help connect you with trusted local pros to pest-proof your home for the season.”

The other cities to round out the top ten buggiest cities in the nation included Phoenix, Houston, Washington D.C., Chicago, San Diego, and Philadelphia.
