Well, isn't this wonderful.
Orkin has released their annual rankings of the Top 50 Bed Bugs Cities List and the top two spots belong to Washington D.C. and Baltimore respectively. This list is calculated based on Orkin's data of where they had to perform the most treatments for getting rid of the pests from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2019.
