There's been lots of talk of bed bugs as of late. Over the past few years, they've been appearing in headlines a little bit more frequently.

Orkin has been releasing a list of the most bed bug infested cities over the past few years, and Minnesota sadly always makes an appearance.

In fact, just last year, Minneapolis was named one of the most bed bug infested cities for 2024. Sigh.

A separate study said the same thing about Duluth, naming it one of the worst cities for bed bugs. Ugh! That was a new fear unlocked for sure.

Terminix knows what they are talking about, as they perform pest control services for bed bugs, termites and all those other critters we don't want to think about. So did any Minnesota or Wisconsin cities make the cut here?

Are Minnesota + Wisconsin Cities Among Most Bed Bug Infested This Year?

Surprisingly, no Minnesota or Wisconsin cities made the list! Usually, a big city like Minneapolis or Milwaukee makes the list for things like this. However, there's no city in either this time around!

Philadelphia, New York and Cleveland are the top three most bed bug infested cities in the country. Lots of Florida cities made the list, along with other major cities like Houston and Chicago.

I guess we can all sleep peacefully knowing that we didn't make the top fifty this time around! To come up with the list, Terminix looked at data from 300 of their branches across the country to identify which areas had the highest volume of bed bug control services.

Bed bugs are one thing I hope to never encounter in my lifetime. I will be trying to forget about this for awhile! To protect yourself, avoid clutter, keep your home tidy and wash your sheets and mattress covers, please.
