Indiana Cities Battle Bed Bugs | Indianapolis News

Three Indiana cities—Indianapolis, South Bend, and Fort Wayne—are on Orkin’s top 50 bed bug hotspots, with Indianapolis at 5, South Bend at 29, and Fort Wayne at 47. The rankings reflect pest control treatment volume over the past year and reveal that bed bugs thrive in high-traffic areas like hotels and dorms, spreading easily via travel. Experts warn these pests are hard to eradicate because they hide in tiny cracks, and travelers can prevent infestations using the simple S.L.E.E.P. method: check sheets, elevate luggage, inspect bags, and dry clothes on high heat. Bed bugs aren’t just in “dirty” places—they’re everywhere. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
