Three Florida cities among Orkin's 'rattiest cities in 2026' ranking

Several Florida cities have earned a spot on a list they probably won’t be bragging about. Three major Florida cities all made Orkin’s 2026 ranking of the 50 “rattiest” cities in the U.S., based on new residential rodent treatments recorded between Aug. 9, 2025, and Aug. 9, 2026. "There’s no single type of city or climate that’s immune to rodent pressure," said Dr. Shannon Sked, National Technical Director at Orkin, in the study. "Rats and mice are highly adaptable and can thrive in communities across the country wherever they can find food, water and shelter." Here's where Florida ranks among the "rattiest cities" in the U.S. for 2026. Where did Florida cities rank in Orkin's list of the rattiest cities? Tampa, Miami and Orlando are among Orkin’s 50 “rattiest” cities for 2026, a ranking based on the company’s residential rodent treatment data. Tampa - 22 Miami - 26 Orlando - 32 What city has the most rats in the U.S.? Los Angeles still holds the title of "rattiest city" for the second year in a row. "Los Angeles’ year-round mild weather, dense neighborhoods and abundant access to food, water and shelter create conditions where rats and mice can thrive," Orkin
