It is chilling to think of tiny bugs living in your mattress, but the nightmare gets even worse when you consider just how easily bed bugs can spread. Although they cannot fly or jump, bed bugs still manage to be one of the most populous pests in the country, especially in larger cities. They can quickly crawl to their next hiding spot, where they will wait for an unsuspecting mammal to rest nearby and provide the bed bugs with a meal. These insects can go over a year without food, but they will consume warm blood whenever they have the opportunity. 

It is completely common to pick up bed bugs while traveling because they will hide in any luggage and clothing that is left on the floor of an infested place. Some of the most frequent hiding places are:

• Inside or on the side of luggage, purses, backpacks, etc.
• Inside clothing
• On any part of a mattress
• In carpeting and rugs
• In wall outlets
• Under wallpaper
