Bed bugs becoming #1 pest in the world?

I ran into a discussion on Linkedin today about a post talking about this..


I did a quick check on the county health department website and did a 12 month historical search on public 


complaints (to the county health department). I was at a bed bug symposium about a year ago and some 


representatives from this health department displayed a graph showing bed bug complaints vs. roaches. The line 


for roaches was dropping yearly and the line for bed bugs was climbing. Roaches still had the edge on amount 


of inbound complaints... Until NOW! I have attached the link to the site below. You can go in and look at all 


sorts of fun stuff..

Bed bug complaints: 162 


Roaches: 116

That is amazing.. Bed bugs are slowly (or quickly?) becoming the #1 pest in the world.
