Chicago Number One in Bed Bugs
Not a coveted ranking
Chicago has moved to the top spot of a list no city wants to be a part of: the most treatments for bed bug infestations.
Pest control company Orkin said Tuesday it did more business in Chicago than any other city last year. Chicago had been second on the list in 2011 behind Cincinnati.

Vegas has a difficult problem with bed bugs as well. Our number one problem is roaches at this point. Glad we aren't at the top of the list for bed bugs though.
Yeah I would have to agree with you on that.
Yeah, working with Bed Bugs is never fun. Unfortunately we've had an uptick in Bed Bug calls in Vegas this Summer. Hopefully it calls down here shortly.
