The report lists Chicago as the nation’s city with the highest number of bed bugs, followed by Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, and Indianapolis. Ohio has the most cities on this year’s list, with Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Dayton, and Toledo all making the top 50.
Bed bugs can hide out in several places, including coat checks at theaters, museums, or event venues, and can be picked up from traveling and brought back to homes. The company urges travelers to check hotel mattresses and nearby furniture before unpacking and to keep luggage off beds and dry clothing on high heat after returning home.
