Another Trump accomplishment. Washington, D.C. Is the Bed Bug Capital of the U.S.

Washington, D.C. has been ranked the top bed bug city in the country – surpassing nearby Baltimore in the process – by pest control company Orkin.

Baltimore was ranked No. 1 for three straight years before falling to No. 2 on Orkin's annual list this year, according to a Monday news release from the company. Washington was ranked No. 2 last year.

Chelle Hartzer, an Orkin staff entomologist, tells U.S. News that Washington and Baltimore were "probably pretty close last year." Possible reasons for the two cities consistently being ranked so high are their size and the amount of domestic and international travel in and out of them, she said.

"The more people you have, the more prevalent these pests can be," Hartzer adds.

First there was The Lord of the Flies. Now, comes the sequel and it is more disturbing and horrifying:

The Lord of the Bed Bugs!

One man controls them all with dark powers from the depths of Hell and they are spreading fast. They are everywhere and infesting everything.

Coming soon to a rally near YOU!

They should really power wash everything with bleach and then do an industrial steam cleaning after that. Oh fuck it! Just torch the place and rebuild it.
