Here is a list of 20 cities that are the most bed bug-infested as of today. Hoo-ray!

As you have heard, bed bug infestations are on the ever-increasing rise across the USA. However, some cities are suffering more than others.

Here is the current rankings of these cities as of December 2023. I put 2022's ranking (). Chicago was ranked #1 in 2021, 2022 and 2023; lucky them!

I don't know what's happening in OH, butttt you might want to avoid that state. HAHAHA (I'm sure Ohio is lovely.) 

As you can see, some states have a significant bed bug issue. Luckily, we have an All-Natural Bed Bug Travel Spray that passes TSA requirements that you can take along inside your carry-on. In case you come across bed bugs on the plane. 

At least you don't have to worry about catching the Zika virus like with mosquitoes. But bed bugs pose a worrisome side effect: bites, welts, and incessant scratching. We also have a travel-sized bite-relief solution that will ease your scratching.

Here is an easy acronym to remember what to do when you check in to your hotel/motel/Airbnb or even your family's home. SLEEP

• Survey the room for any signs of bed bugs. Check out the mattress, seams, headboards, and crevices.
• Lift any mattresses, furniture, and other items a bug might want to lay low in.
• Elevate your luggage to the bathroom (bed bugs don't like slick areas) before placing it on the dresser or a chair.
• Examine your luggage as you pack and unpack when you get home. Bring sealed plastic bags; you can leave your luggage encased while traveling. 
• Put your clothing in the dryer for at least 15 minutes, on the highest heat, to kill any hitchhikers.    

Our natural, plant-based Bed Bug Patrol Killer Spray provides an all-natural solution to infestations of bed bugs, as well as fleas, spiders, and other common indoor bugs. Our 100% natural solution is made in the USA. It relies on the power of natural ingredients like citric acid, clove oil, and peppermint oil to naturally deter these bugs from living in your furnishings and upholstery. Just spray our solution on affected surfaces twice per day, and it will get to work on exterminating your bed bugs and preventing their return.
