Orkin Canada has released information guaranteed to make your skin crawl; its list of the top 25 cities in Canada for bed bug infestations.
Toronto was the number one city in Canada for bed bugs. Communities in the Greater Toronto Area take up seven spots on the list. Hamilton, Scarborough, North York, Oshawa, Mississauga, and Etobicoke are all represented.
Winnipeg took up the number two spot, while St. John's, Newfoundland placed third.
Windsor placed in the top ten at ninth place. London came in at number 12.
The company released the list along with some advice on ways to avoid infestations including never putting luggage or clothing directly on the bed, and packing clothing and shoes in small plastic bags while travelling.
It also said hotels are not the only place bed bugs like to hide out.
"Bed bugs thrive in dark, cool places with long-term access to humans. They can also be found on airplane and train seats, buses, or in rental cars," the company said in a news release.
