Orkin rated Youngstown as the 20th worst area in the U.S. for bedbugs in a recent study.

The pest removal company said the list is based on treatment data from the metro areas where the most bed treatments were performed from Dec. 1, 2022 – Nov. 30, 2023. The rankings included residential and commercial treatments.

The Cleveland-Akron area ranked fourth on the list, while Columbus ranked 11th and Pittsburgh ranked 21st.
