    Top 10 Towns for Pest Infestations

    0
    By Brad Beckett on February 6, 2017 Market Trends

    Let’s face it, bugs are just a part of everyday life.  Managing their population and keeping infestations at bay is the name of the game for exterminators and health departments across the country.  Recently the folks over at Realtor.com put together their list of the Top 10 Cities for Pest Infestations in the U.S.  They utilized rat and cockroach data from the American Housing Survey along with data about mosquitoes, termites, bedbugs, fleas, ticks and scorpions from a variety of other sources.  We wonder if folks in these cities have heard of ClearVue Traps?

    “The warmer climate in the Southern states increases the ability to support insects for longer periods of time,” says Michael Raupp, an entomologist from the University of Maryland. “Insects are usually killed by the coldness, but since it rarely reaches lethal temperatures [freezing point]in the South, cockroaches and bedbugs remain active for a longer time out of the year.”

    The top 10 cities are:

    1. Houston, TX
    2. New York
    3. Washington, DC
    4. Atlanta, GA
    5. Philadelphia, PA
    6. Miami FL
    7. Tampa, FL
    8. Nashville, TN
    9. Phoenix, AZ
    10. Boston, MA
