Oh, yes they can! And once they get into your home, they can spread like wildfire! I went to a cabin once that was infested with the little suckers and had a 3 month old baby with me. I felt something crawling on my back after I went to bed. My husband thought I was just being paranoid but grabbed the flashlight and shone it on me. There were tons of the little suckers all over the place! They were crawling on the baby, too! I have never been so freaked out in my life! I guess they come out at night. We had to leave in a thunderstorm at midnight with a 3 month old baby. I couldn’t wait to have a shower. Thank god my brother-in-law was just an hour away so we crashed at his place. We wrapped all our clothes in plastic bags and showered and as far as I know they didn’t spread. But after doing some research they do spread from peoples clothes, etc. so we were lucky.
I still get freaked out just thinking about it. They feed off our blood, too!
