Dallas-Fort Worth was the fourth city in Texas to make the list.
DALLAS — North Texas just picked up a very disgusting designation.
Dallas-Fort Worth is now among the top 10 most pest-infested cities in the country.
The honor comes from pest-control company Terminix, which examined data provided by over 300 of its branches nationwide to determine the number of exterminators called for pest-control services between October 2023 and September 2024.
The company ranked Dallas-Fort Worth as #1 on its list of 50 most pest-infested cities.
Dallas-Fort Worth was one of four metros in Texas to make the list. Scurrying in as the second-most-infested city were our friends to the south — Houston.
San Antonio ranked #28 and Corpus Cristi came in at #40.
