Don’t let the bed bugs bite you?
Well, in at least three Pennsylvania cities, that’s a lot easier said than done. It’s that time of year again that Orkin releases its list of cities with the worst bed bugs, and Chicago and New York took first and second place.
Congrats to her… or something.
Before we get to Pennsylvania’s worst offenders, though, yes, Harrisburg made the list.
The Keystone state capital ranks 36th overall out of 50 listed cities. He rose six places in the rankings. So not so good for the folks here in central Pennsylvania.
However, the news is worse for the people of Philly because it was third overall on the list. Or maybe it’s some kind of good news because it dropped a spot and traded places with New York.
Pittsburgh also made the list, moving up two spots to 18th overall.
Baltimore ranked eighth on the list. Washington, DC finished ninth.
Behind Chicago, New York and Philly, Cleveland-Akron finished fourth and Los Angeles completed the top five.
Orkin said it compiles the list based on treatment data from the metro areas where it performed the most bed bug treatments from December 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022. It said the ranking included residential and commercial treatments.
