This is the fifth year in a row that Chicago has topped the Orkin list.

Chicago has once again been named the most bedbug-infested city in the United States, the news coming as it also grapples with a rat problem.

Orkin’s annual rankings showed that Chicago has the worst bedbug problem in America, NBC Chicago reported Monday. It is the fifth year in a row the Democrat-controlled city has been given the ranking.

“The pest control company compiled its rankings using treatment data from areas where it performed the most bedbug treatments from May 15, 2024 to May 14, 2025,” the article read.
