AUSTIN (KXAN) — The summer months are coming to an end, and hopefully taking the excessive heat and pesky insects with it.

A study found three Texas cities made the top five buggiest cities in the U.S.

The study was compiled using data from home projects from across all 50 states, according to Thumbtack. The results showed July and August were the buggiest months of the year, and that nothing reeled in the critters like southern heat, with plenty of Texas cities hit the hardest.

The top 15 buggiest cities in the U.S. based on the study’s findings were:

1. Atlanta, Georgia
2. Dallas, Texas
   • dropped from the No. 1 spot
3. Austin, Texas
   • had an increase in insects compared to 2022 results
4. Houston, Texas
   • remained in the same spot
5. Washington, D.C.
6. Baltimore, Maryland
7. Orlando, Florida
8. Miami, Florida
9. West Palm Beach, Florida
10. Charlotte, North Carolina
11. Tampa, Florida
12. San Francisco, California
13. Seattle, Washington
14. San Antonio, Texas
    • moved up the list compared to 2022
15. Boston, Massachusetts
