Understanding Bed Bug Behavior: Why They’re So Hard to Spot


Bed bugs are small, but their habits make them especially tricky to catch early. These pests are nocturnal, meaning they hide during the day and come out at night to feed. They prefer to stay close to their food source—usually within 5 to 10 feet of where people sleep or rest. That’s why they often hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, and even behind baseboards or electrical outlets.

Because bed bugs are excellent at hiding and can survive for months without feeding, many people don’t notice an infestation right away. Bites may not show up for several hours—or even days—depending on your skin’s sensitivity. Understanding their behavior is the first step in spotting the signs early and taking action before the infestation grows.
