Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, Asheville, and Wilmington are just a few of the North Carolina towns that are dealing with growing bed bug problems. Bed bugs are known to hide in luggage and clothes, which makes tourist spots and places with a lot of people coming and going, like hotels, dorms, and vacation rentals, especially vulnerable.
1. Charlotte
Ranks high nationally for bed bug infestations and is working to solve the problem by hiring professional exterminators and making hotel and apartment owners more aware of the issue.
2. Greensboro
There are more bed bugs in its colleges, in part because more students are traveling, which has led to stricter rules for cleaning and preventing bed bugs in dorms.
3. Raleigh-Durham
is also dealing with bed bugs and is one of the worst towns in the country for this problem. Hotels and flats in the area are important places to look.
4. Asheville
A popular tourist spot is having trouble with bed bugs because tourists bring them with them without realizing it. The local tourist board is working on educating people on how to avoid getting bed bugs and inspecting property owners for them.
5. Wilmington
It gets a lot of bed bugs when it is tourist season, and more checks are being done in places that serve food and drink.
