Are you sitting down? Feeling comfortable? OK, because we just want to make sure that you have your bearings when we let you know that Los Angeles is now the No. 4 most bed bug-riddled city in America. Cue endless shivers and checking your legs to make sure they're still there.
What's scarier, our No. 4 slot is up from No. 14 just one year ago in 2014. That's right: from 2014 to 2015, we've passed 10 whole cities on the list.
Detroit takes the cake at the top spot, but if you ask us, we will not be visiting Ohio anytime soon considering the state has four cities in the top 10.
The data for the annual list is collected by the pest control company, Terminix, by adding up data from more than 300 of its branches around the country. The cities are ranked by the volume of calls during the calendar year.
Here's the creepy-crawliest top 10 list you will ever read:
1. Detroit, Michigan
2. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
3. Cleveland-Akron, Ohio
4. Los Angeles, California
5. Dayton, Ohio
6. Chicago, Illinois
7. Columbus, Ohio
8. Cincinnati, Ohio
9. Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
10. San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California
