Chicago ranked as worst city in America for bed bugs

Posted on January 21, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

For the third year in a row, Chicago has topped the list for being the bed bug capital of America, according to Orkin.

Orkin's list ranks cities by the number of treatments it had in 2014.

"Bed bugs are a serious issue across the country, and they're very difficult to control," Orkin Entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison, Ph.D. said in a statement. "Bed bugs are not limited to any level of cleanliness or income, which means they can be found in any home or hotel. They're great hitchhikers, and people often bring them inside on their clothes or in their luggage."

1. Chicago

2. Detroit (+2)

3. Columbus, Ohio

4. Los Angeles (-2)

5. Cleveland Akron Canton, Ohio (+1)

6. Dallas Ft. Worth (+7)

IHS guest service assistants Wendy Dumlao, left, and Cindy Lewis treat beds for bedbugs after an outbreak last year.

Honolulu crept up three notches to No. 42 in the U.S., on the annual Orkin Bed Bug Cities List, released Wednesday.

The pest control company ranked 50 U.S. markets by the number of bed bug treatments it performed during the 2014 calendar year, and Chicago topped the list for the third consecutive year.

The Windy City was followed by Detroit (up two from 2013), Columbus, Ohio, Los Angeles (down two from 2013), and at No. 5, the Cleveland, Akron, Canton market in Ohio, which moved up a notch.

"Bed bugs are a serious issue across the country, and they're very difficult to control," said Orkin Entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison, in a statement. "Bed bugs are not limited to any level of cleanliness or income, which means they can be found in any home or hotel. They're great hitchhikers, and people often bring them inside on their clothes or in their luggage."

Orkin parent company Rollins Inc. saw an 18 percent increase in bed bug treatment revenue during 2014, amid other evidence that bedbug infestations are growing.

***Live Bed Bugs in my hotel room*** – Review of Homewood …

Posted on January 21, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

I stayed at the Homewood Suites from 11/17-11/20 and after the first night I woke up and found a live bed bug under my pillow. I removed all the sheets and pilllowcases and didn't find any additional bed bugs. However, later that day the hotel hired a company to search the room and they found 6 additional live bed bugs!

The hotel moved me to another room and I requested they check my second room, which they did and didn't find live bugs (not sure about dead ones). I asked them to clean/fumigate my second room with my contents in it so for the third night I had to move to a third room and could only bring the clothes I was wearing. A total inconvenience since it was in the 20's outside so I didn't leave the hotel room all afternoon/evening.

On the last morning in my third room I was surprised to wake up with a full priced bill under the door! When I asked to speak to the GM, Marianne Alberti, she was unavailable so I spoke to the assistant GM. He said that I shouldn't have any recompense because they accommodated me by staying in three rooms in three days (one with bed bugs).

My impression was that this happens often because I'm a Hilton Honors Diamond VIP and I didn't even get as much as an apology from the GM - I still have never spoken to or heard from her! I thought 200,000 Hilton Honors points would be appropriate, which is equal to three free nights stay in a Hilton property. They laughed and said that was not possible and they would not do that. Without approval from me they ended up putting 70,000 points in my account - enough for one night's stay in a Hilton Hotel.

Obviously I would never stay here again. I don't think they should treat anyone the way I was treated, much less a Diamond VIP member who almost exclusively stays at Hilton properties. I have lost any allegiance I had to Hilton.

Ouch! Denver ranks eighth among U.S. cities for bed bugs

Posted on January 21, 2015 by admin Click Here For Article

Bedbug have made a comeback in US cities, including Denver, which ranks 8th according to Orkin. (HO/AFP/Getty Images)

Denver ranked eighth among U.S. cities for the severity of its bedbug infestation last year, according to a report Thursday from Orkin, the pest-control firm.

Atlanta-based Orkin, which has a nationwide presence, compared cities based on the number of bedbug treatments the firm performed. Denver-Aurora, which ranks 21st for population among metro areas, moved up from ninth in 2013 to eighth last year but has improved from the No. 4 ranking held in 2012 and 2011.

Combined, Colorado Springs and Pueblo ranked 44th among the cities studied, down from 42nd in 2013.

Chicago, for the third year in a row, reported the most severe infestation, with the hard-to-shake pests taking hold in numerous public spaces, including downtown office buildings, police and fire stations, schools and a movie theater, Orkin reported.

At one point, the U.S. seemed to have conquered bedbugs, with infestations dormant for several decades. But the blood-sucking pests reappeared with a vengeance at the turn of the millennium.

Nationally, Americans spent $70 million to treat infestations back in 2004. In 2013, they spent $446 million.

Orkin reports an 18 percent jump last year in revenues related to bedbug treatments.

Although bedbugs don't transmit diseases like other insects, they can cause skin problems, disrupt sleep and contribute to social isolation and psychological stress.

This month, the National Pest Management Association hosted a global conference that drew 450 people to Denver to discuss bedbugs and how to eliminate them.
