2021 Top 50 Bed Bug Cities in U.S. | Terminix

Posted on December 9, 2021 by admin Click Here For Article

As students arrive on college campuses nationwide this fall, Terminix announced its 2021 ranking of the top 50 most bed bug-infested cities in the country.

As students and parents have arrived on college campuses nationwide this fall, some additional annoying and uninvited roommates may also be taking up residence in dormitories. Bed bugs spread easily by hitching rides on luggage, backpacks and clothing, and can crawl through cracks in the walls, making common spaces of dorm living extremely vulnerable to infestations.

The top five cities on this years 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.

Terminix based its rankings on the number of requests received from each city in 2021*. The top 50 cities for bed bug infestations in the United States are:

A few ways to identify the presence of bed bugs include small blood smears on your sheets, a musty odor, reddish-brown blood spots on your mattress, and bed bugs themselves. In dorm rooms, they tend to live in dressers, clothes, floorboards, couches and mattresses. When fully grown, bed bugs resemble the size, shape and color of an apple seed; however, students should also be on the lookout for recently hatched, cream-colored bed bugs (nymphs) hiding in their fitted sheets.

How to Protect Against Bed Bugs on Campus

Here are a few simple protective measures to help prevent the spread of bed bugs when moving onto campuses:

If you suspect a bed bug infestation in your dorm room, ask your university to contact a professional bed bug exterminator immediately. Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate, and college RAs are rarely equipped to handle infestations. Without the help of a professional, bed bugs can hide and survive in a home, apartment or dorm room for months.

*This ranking was created by compiling bed bug-specific data of customer interest from Terminix branches across the country. The rankings represent Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) with the most leads received between January 1, 2021 and August 20, 2021.
