I had made a reservation for the Vice President of my company to stay at the Pod Hotel during May 18th and 19th, 2011. He came back with Bed Bug Bites all up and down his arms. He had to hire an exterminator to come out to his house when he got back into town because he had brought them home with him. I called the manager at the Pod Hotel, and he could have cared less about the bed bugs, and simply told me they have a weekly exterminator that comes out and sprays all the rooms. He made it soun

d like it was no big deal. He was so rude to me, and seemed annoyed that I was calling to complain about BED BUGS!!!!! I had to go above his head to get any response at all. I HIGHLY SUGGEST FINDING ANOTHER HOTEL TO STAY IN!!!

NEW YORK -- Bedbugs are a build-in hazard of city living. Like so many of us, these parasites love the endless food options, convenient transportation, lively crowds and the comforts of a warm home. All reasons why the U.S. is top territory for bedbugs.

This week, the pest control company Orkin released their annual Bedbug Cities list, which is based on the number of treatments the company performed from January to December 2014. The company reports an 18 percent increase in business last year. An industry report finds Americans spent some $446 million in bedbug extermination in 2013, up from $70 million in 2004.

Which cities are worst? Chicago leads the company's list for the third year in a row. It seems a little wind doesn't deter these critters.

Next on the list are Detroit; Columbus, Ohio; Los Angeles; and Cleveland-Akron-Canton, Ohio.

Unfortunately, a number of cities crawled higher up on Orkin's Bedbug Cities List. Seven cities made double-digit jumps compared to their rankings in 2013, including Omaha, Nebraska; Lexington, Kentucky; Sacramento, California; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Buffalo, New York; Charleston, West Virginia; and Louisville, Kentucky.

Several cities dropped significantly in the past year, with the biggest improvements in Syracuse, New York; San Diego; Miami; Greenville, South Carolina, and Atlanta.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; St. Louis; Bowling Green, Kentucky; and Ft. Wayne, Indiana, all appear for the first time on Orkin's list.

When it comes to finding a place to call home, bedbugs do not discriminate as long as there is a human host in sight to provide a warm meal of blood. That's why pest control companies find themselves clearing not just homes, but also five-star hotels, public transportation and office building.

The rest is here:
Worst U.S. cities for bed bugs

Cincinnati was ranked in the top ten of a list the city does not want to be on.

Orkin released its Top 50 Bed Bug Cities list and Cincinnati ranked No. 7, down two spots from last year.

Officials said the list is based on data from cities where Orkin performed the most bed bug treatments in 2014.

The United States is in the midst of a bed bug resurgence, with Americans spending $446 million to get rid of bed bugs in 2013, compared to $70 million 10 years ago.
