Bed bug epidemic-- 2017 rankings

I read yesterday that bed bugs are an increasingly big problem in the hotel business and large multifamilies, and that certain cities are especially being hit hard (Baltimore, Washington, DC, Chicago). 

Combining various rankings, 3 out of the top 5 are in Ohio (where I invest). Not surprising to me, unfortunately.

Here's the latest ranking if you are interested:

This epidemic scares me. I had to treat a property of mine in Columbus just a few months ago, and it was thousands of dollars.... Wiped out an entire year's profits.
