Orkin just released the 2019 edition of the "Orkin's Top 50 Bed Bug Cities" list. The list tracks the worst cities for bed bugs year to year, and tells you where each city lands compared to the last year. Well, there's some bad news this year. Iowa brings two cities to the list, and they both hit pretty close to home.
