Bed bugs travel easily and quickly along pipes and boards, and their bodies are very flat, which allows them to hide in tiny crevices. In the daytime, they tend to stay out of the light, preferring to remain hidden in such places as mattress seams, mattress interiors, bed frames, nearby furniture, carpeting, baseboards, inner walls, tiny wood holes, and/or room clutter. Bed bugs can be found on their own but will more often congregate in groups once established. They tend not to travel further than 100 feet (30 m) from their host to feed and will usually remain close to their blood supply in the same bedroom or living quarters where people sleep.

Exact nesting locations of a typical infestation can vary greatly as bed bugs will often attempt to hide themselves within a wide range of tiny areas or spaces, within cracks and crevices, or simply in darker locations where they are out of plain sight. A single intricate bed frame or mattress can hold a wealth of choice areas for bed bugs to hide so careful, meticulous inspection is a must.

Bed bugs will attempt to nest in any of these sleeping structures if given the opportunity and will take cover in nearby areas as well. Bed bugs tend to want to hide as close as possible to where they feed. If a person sleeps on a couch within a room where bed bugs are present, for example, then it could be generally expected that the bed bugs in the given room would quickly find their way onto the sofa as well as onto the sleeping person where they may then feed. Minimizing potential nesting locations can make it easier to pinpoint the remaining areas where bed bugs may be hiding. But such additional hiding spots are often times unique to each case of infestation since virtually any small space or crack in a given room can be useful as a nesting site to bed bugs.

Unchecked, bed bugs will eventually expand their overall nesting locations into nearby furniture such as dressers or nightstands, in drawers, in the cracks of picture frames, in screw or nail holes to bedroom fixtures, behind mirrors, etc. Complete disassembly and subsequent treatment of the entire bed frame may be necessary to reveal all nesting spots when bed bugs are present. A thorough inspection would also include checking the entire room for telltale signs of harborages and inspecting the surrounding flooring, baseboards, and walls, etc.
