Michigan Has a Lot of Bed Bugs Including Grand Rapids

Every year, Orkin releases their 'Top 50 Bed Bug Cities List' and let's just say the Mitten State was crawling with bed bugs last year.

The results are

...based on treatment data from the metro areas where Orkin performed the most bed bug treatments from December 1, 2016 November 30, 2017.The ranking includes both residential and commercial treatments.

Based on this, Detroit ranked #7 out of 50, the same ranking it received in 2016. So while *technically* things didn't get worse in Detroit... it did for Grand Rapids and the west side of the state. Moving upfour spots from the year prior, Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek came in at #23. And for the first time EVER, Flint-Saginaw-Bay City made the list at #38.

What's happening here? Why are bed bugs taking over?! Dr. Tim Husen, an entomologist with Orkin,states that these pests continue to rise in the U.S. because they are constantlymoving (not seasonal) and only need blood to survive. Not to mention these bloodsuckers populate like crazy! An adult female lays 2-5 eggs per day.

So what can you do to prevent, or at least minimize the chance of, getting bed bugs? Orkin has a helpful section which includes things you can do at home and while you're traveling plus general info and FAQ's about bed bugs.

& just in case you're wonderingwhich cities have it the worst, here's the top 10:

Bed bugs in Alberta?

I don't know if this is fact or fiction, but I've been told that Alberta has a large bed bug problem, specifically in Jasper. Is this true? And if so, how to deal with it.

Certainly I think one particular hotel in Jasper did have problem a couple of years ago. Public health intervened and I think steps have long since been taken to address the problem. Beyond that Alberta (and Jasper) are no better or worse than anywhere else. I've stayed there and many other places in the province, and to my knowledge, never had any issues.
