Flint Makes Top 50 List of Bed Bug-Infested Cities in The Country

Flint isn't the only city in Michigan to make the list of top 50 most bed bug-infested cities in the United States.

According to WXYZ, Detroit remained high on the Top 50 list at #8, while Grand Rapids claimed the 20th spot. New to the list this year was Lansing at #32 and Flint coming in at #47.

Speaking of bed bugs, earlier today Maggie Meadows shared a story about a bed bug warning to parents of students in the Beecher Community School District. I don't know if there's anything more disgusting than bed bugs, they are so freaking gross.

According to Orkin, The list is based on treatment data from the metro areas where Orkin performed the most bed bug treatments from December 1, 2017 – November 30, 2018. The ranking includes both residential and commercial treatments.
