Number One Again
But in a completely off-the-wall category:
Chicago has been ranked the worst city in the country for bed bugs for the sixth consecutive year, according to Orkin's annual list.
The pest control company's rankings are based on where it performed the most bed bug treatments between May 12, 2025 and May 12, covering both residential and commercial sites.
Los Angeles came in second on this year's list, followed by Detroit at third, Cleveland at fourth and Indianapolis at fifth. New York fell just outside of the top 10.
So raggedy.
How long was Chicago #1 in rats?

Mayor looks like a bedbug.
Bed Bugs, Rats - what other plague will the citizens of Chicago be required to endure?
We're #1.. we're #1.. fuck all y'all, we're #1
woooohooooo!
*dances around*
#1 baby!
oh... wait...
Not surprised Chicago is a garbage city.
Chicago has a HUGE rat problem on the 5th floor at City Hall...When you have the west side, south side and illegals here is there any question why we have such a bed bug problem???
Chicago is a world class city for the worst the world has to offer.
Yea it’s full of garbage. Why in the world does anyone live there?
Politicians
We need a blue ribbon panel to study the root causes of…..oh let’s just enjoy being the best in something.
Alderman Chico for mayor. He will clean it all up!!!
Most of those treatments were on the 3rd floor of HQ
If they just got rid of Cone-RAT!
Oh well. Gotta be number one at something.
Democrats!
The family got bed bugs 3 yrs ago….we do a lot of traveling and staying in hotels/motels….believe me, being infested with rats is easier to get rid of….
Never waste your time with any Orkin surveys or claims. They are based solely on the amount of business Orkin does in a city, it never counts independent exterminators, so is Orkin doesn't do a lot a business somwhere, according to them, it doesn't have a problem with bugs or rats, even though they actually do have a serious problem with bugs & rats!
That's an insult to bedbugs...
Hmm. The description implies rank is by raw number of service calls, but _not_ in proportion to population. In which case Chicago (#3 in population) doesn't look so bad. Cleveland is #55 in population and #4 in bugs. Springfield is #309 and #6.
Just a Civilian (who would like to see Orkin's actual numbers)
Just plain Raggedy
Bedbug lives matter too
We’ve got rats on the westside, bud bugs uptown, what a mess this town’s in tatters…….
All the city bedbugs came from 3rd floor of 35th LEADS section hahaha.
And to think that when the Springer show was taped in Chicago, the hotel that accommodated his guests asked them to bring their own linens b/c previous guests had brought both bedbugs and pubic lice. Now Chicago supplies its own.
Worst city for bedbugs? Go figure, has to do with the education, cleanliness and where the majority of occupants of Chicago spend there time..
