Zachary Gutierrez+FollowSouth Dakota’s bed bug battle heats upBed bugs are making life miserable in five South Dakota cities this year, and folks are feeling it. Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Brookings, and Pierre are all stepping up their game with new rules, public education, and even financial help for those hit hardest. These bugs aren’t just gross—they’re getting tougher to kill and spreading faster than ever, thanks to travel and secondhand furniture. Each city is fighting back in its own way, from stricter landlord rules in Pierre to rapid hotel inspections in Rapid City.
