The city is the place where modernization begins, and trend-setting innovations are born. On its front face, you see the beauty of the concrete jungle. On the other side of the urban beauty, dark secrets lurk.

Most cities in the United States have pest control initiatives and waste management procedures. However, some towns fail in this category, and it is really gross. Here are ten cities in the United States where pests are rampant.
