When it comes to city living, most people expect the hustle and bustle of traffic and busy sidewalks, but probably don’t think of pests.

Orkin has released its latest bedbug report , spotlighting which cities have the biggest infestations.

The list is based on both commercial and residential treatment data from metro areas between May 15, 2024, to May 14, 2025.

Ben Hottel, an Orkin entomologist based in Atlanta, said in a press release that it is “critical that people know the best ways to identify, prevent, and control these pests.”

“Bedbugs are some of the most resilient pests in the world, making them extremely difficult to control if brought into a home or hotel,” he said.

Bedbugs are small , measuring around 3/16 inches long, and prefer human hosts to pets, according to Orkin.
