Homeowners’ Biggest Pests of 2018

December 14, 2018

The biggest pest of 2018? Bedbugs.


The second annual Terminix Entomologists’ Almanac took a look at the biggest pest trends from the past year based on social media chatter and internet queries. Bedbugs clinched the title for the second year in a row.


Americans searched for information about bedbugs more than 6.7 million times this year—more so than any other pest. Terminix, a national pest control company, says it has seen a steady increase in bedbug infestations since the 1990s.

1. Bedbug


2. Opossum


3. Scorpion


4. Spider


5. Hornet


6. Mosquito


7. Silverfish


8. Squirrel


9. Centipede


10. Cockroach


Terminix also released findings of the pest-laden places in 2018, based on search data per capita.
The states with the most pest problems and searches in 2018 are:


1. District of Columbia


2. North Carolina


3. Massachusetts
