Yes, we're in the top 10, but if there's a bright side to bugging out, at least we're not number one. Cleveland takes the top spot - for the second year in a row.

Dallas-Fort Worth ranks sixth.

Terminix says it wants people to be aware of how easily bed bugs travel. It suggests doing laundry as soon as you arrive home, especially after Thanksgiving.



It also says that bed bugs are most active at night, so it can be hard to spot infestations.
