Do Bedbugs Jump?

Bedbugs do not have wings and are not capable of flight. Unlike other wingless insects such as fleas, bedbugs also are not equipped to jump long distances. Bedbugs may move from host to host, although this is typically accomplished by crawling.

However, bedbugs are skilled climbers. Some studies show that they climb great heights in order to drop themselves down to lower surfaces that were otherwise inaccessible to them. Bedbugs may scale walls in order to descend upon beds and other places to find food.
