3 Texas Cities Named the 'Buggiest' in the Country

Stay away from these Texas cities if bugs freak you out. The old saying is that everything is bigger in Texas, which isn't true. However, sometimes it is. This is one of those instances.

For instance, the cockroaches here in the Lone Star State are damn near big enough to saddle up and ride. I’m not kidding when I tell you they are downright intimidating. But since I’m the designated exterminator in our household, I have to suck it up and go toe-to-toe with them whenever someone spots one in the house.

Speaking of exterminators, Terminix released its list of the ‘buggiest’ U.S. cities, and three of the biggest cities in Texas—Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston—topped the list.

How were the ‘buggiest’ cities determined?

Terminix looked at which businesses used their services from October 2023 to September 2024 to reach their conclusions. Here’s what they found:

Top 10 ‘Buggiest’ U.S. Cities

Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Houston, TX
Los Angeles, CA
Atlanta, GA
San Francisco, CA
Honolulu, HI
New York, NY
Tampa-St. Pete, FL
Columbus, OH
Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, FL

It’s no surprise that most of the Top 10 are in warmer climates as bugs tend to thrive in warm weather. That’s why we need to be more vigilant in looking for signs of a building infestation in our neck of the woods.
