(ATLANTA) — Illinois has again made a list that most wouldn’t brag about.

The Orkin Pest Control company has released their list for top 50 cities with bed bugs and Chicago is in the top five.

Making the number one spot this year is Baltimore followed by Washington, D.C. Chicago comes in at number three with Los Angeles and Columbus, Ohio rounding out the top five.

New York fell four spots and comes in at number eight while Dallas has moved up five spots to join the top ten. Also of note, New Orleans and Flint, Michigan join the list for the first time.

The list is based on treatment data from the metro areas where Orkin performed the most bed bug treatments from December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 and includes both residential and commercial treatments.
