This is because they are easily picked up in suitcases, brief cases, boxes, clothing and shoes which they are then carried in and move from place to place. Once inside a place, these tiny and nocturnal insects are very illusive and hard to detect. They are capable of hinging in even the smallest place in a home or building. They then come out at night to feed while their hosts sleep and then return to hiding before they awake. Bed Bugs can feed on any warm-blooded animals but primarily feed on humans.
