How To Know If You Have Fleas In Your Bed
Introduction
Fleas can be a nightmare to deal with, but it’s important to know how to identify them so that you can implement a treatment plan.
Fleas are parasites that can easily jump on you.
Fleas are tiny insects that live on the blood of humans, cats and dogs. They use their strong mouthparts to pierce the skin and feed on blood. Fleas can jump more than 8 inches high, so they can easily jump onto a person or animal who is sitting or lying down.
Flea eggs hatch into larvae that eat dried blood from adult fleas (which have already fed). The larvae spin cocoons and emerge as adults after about two weeks. These new adult fleas then begin feeding on your pet’s blood again with each new life cycle continuing until you treat your home for this insect pest problem.
They have a low-cut coat.
If you have a low-cut coat, it’s important to keep your eyes peeled for fleas. Fleas are small, brown and black insects that can burrow into your fur and feed on you. They live on a host animal or human, so they tend to be found in areas where pets spend time.
Flea larvae look like tiny white worms. They live inside the bodies of their mother until they develop into pupae (bigger white worm). After the adult flea emerges from its cocoon, it will live for several months on its host before laying hundreds of eggs in just one day!
They are more likely to walk instead of run.

Fleas are usually found on animals with long hair (cats and dogs), but they can jump up to a distance of 8 inches (20 cm). They survive in temperatures between 32 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 50 degrees Celsius).
They have itchy skin.
If your dog has fleas, you should also keep an eye out for any signs of itching. Flea bites on dogs can look like red bumps or hives, and they may even swell up if the dog scratches at them too much. If you see any of these symptoms in your pet, it’s possible they’re suffering from infestation by parasites.
If you notice that your cat is scratching a lot more than usual, this could be another sign that there are fleas inside of their fur. The most common place for cats to get bitten by fleas is around their necks and underbelly; though cats are able to groom themselves quite well in some cases (especially if they have long hair), so if you notice an increase in scratching anywhere else on your cat’s body then this could mean that there are bugs hiding somewhere nearby
They are losing hair around their neck, stomach and tail area.
If you are noticing that your cat is losing hair around their neck, stomach and tail area, it can be a sign of fleas. Fleas will bite your cat and make them itch. This scratching causes the hair to fall off around these areas of the body.
There are small colored dots in your sheets (flea droppings).
If you find black dots on your sheets, they may be flea droppings. Fleas are small and brownish-black in color, so their droppings are often hard to spot. If your dog or cat has fleas, the little critters will be hopping around on the floor, jumping into bed with you at night and even biting you if they can get close enough to do so. They’re pretty disgusting!
If there is a lot of debris under your pet’s bedding (like hair), that could mean that it’s also getting into their fur as well. Check under their bedding for signs of flea dirt: tiny black specks that look like sand grains but have stains from blood cells inside them; this means there were once living fleas feeding off them
After vacuuming your carpet, if you take a white cloth and wipe the nozzle and it looks like it has brownish red stains (flea dirt), then you have fleas in your home.
Once you’ve vacuumed your carpet, if you take a white cloth and wipe the nozzle and it looks like it has brownish red stains (flea dirt), then you have fleas in your home. To check for fleas on pets, use a flea comb or pet brush to pull through the fur of your pet. If there are any black specks on this comb that look like coffee grounds, then chances are you have fleas. In addition, when you look at the base of their hair they should not be red; if they are red then this could be an indication that they may have mites (another type of insect).
If you have an outdoor cat or dog, they may be tracking fleas inside your home from outside. It’s best to try to minimize this risk by making sure your pets do not hang out with other animals or roam in other people’s yards.
