Bed bugs are able to get around quickly by crawling anywhere from 3 to 5 feet per minute.Being that bed bugs are wingless they cannot fly. They also cannot jump. They make their way onto beds by crawling up the legs of bed frames.  They can also crawl up to bed skirts, blankets, or any other bedding that touches the floor.  Bed bugs also like to hide behind cracks and crevices in walls and will eventually crawl onto headboards and mattresses to get closer to their food source.Bed bugs also prefer natural and textured surfaces to crawl on and don't travel as well on slick surfaces.
