Description: Orkin’s newest bed bug rankings include two North Carolina cities. Raleigh is No. 19 (up seven spots), and Charlotte is No. 27 (up five) on the company’s Top 50 list. Bed bugs mostly stay hidden in dark cracks and crevices, then come out briefly to find a host, feed on blood, and crawl back to their hiding spot, says Mayo Clinic parasitology expert Dr. Bobbi Pritt.
