A TIKTOKER who lives in "America's most cockroach-infested city" has said he helped secure the title.
Houston, Texas, was recently named the US's dirtiest city by LawnStarter.
A recent study found the city to have the overall highest rating for dirtiness out of 152 cities across the US.
Houston was closely followed by Newark, NJ, and San Bernadino, CA.
As the country's fourth largest city, it is known for features including the NASA Space Center, lush reserve parks, and for being Beyonce's hometown.
However, it is now also known for its cockroach-infested homes.

Pests such as roaches are commonly found in homes and need to be dealt with immediately before they infest other areas.
Experts have shared the best natural remedies to rid your home of roaches.
The first at-home remedy that can be used is Diatomaceous Earth (DE).
DE is a natural insecticide that damages cockroaches' exoskeletons and dehydrates them to death.
Baking soda can also be used.
When consumed by roaches, it causes them to burst.
Finally, sprinkling some boric acid onto food such as orange peels or peanut butter will lure the roaches in, and cause them to die.
