Clarksville & Hopkinsville did NOT make this list!

I love summer, but I DON’T love the bugs! I hate smelling like Off all the time! But still, I love summer!

Summer is all about pool parties, cookouts and enjoying long evenings outside, but it’s also prime time for pesky insects coming out in full force. A few mosquito bites, an army of ants or a swarm of flies can easily ruin a good picnic or barbecue. But not all places are plagued by bugs and a new report reveals where you’re most likely to encounter these annoying creatures.

A new study from lawncare company TruGreen finds that the biggest pest challenges Americans expect to face this year include mosquitoes (46%) and ticks (38%).
Their new report on the Buggiest Cities in the U.S. ranks the top metropolitan areas that are most affected by mosquitoes, fleas and ticks.
Topping the list for 2023 is Los Angeles, followed by two areas in Texas, Houston and Dallas-Fort-Worth.
Top 10 Buggiest Cities in the U.S.

Los Angeles, California
Houston, Texas
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
Atlanta, Georgia
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Sarasota, Florida
Detroit, Michigan
Cleveland-Akron, Ohio
Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne, Florida
Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
