Make sure you identify your problem before calling in a flea spray.
Could the problem be an allergy? Sometimes people can come up in what looks like bites when the have eaten something they are mildly allergic to.

Could it be another insect? Mosquitoes can wait inside rooms and come in for a blood feed after everyone is asleep. Again these may appear to be flea bites happening in the night. It may also be bed bugs, sand flies etc.

The best way to confirm is to see one. Another common flea trait is to leave bites along the clothing lines such as along the top of sock lines or underwear lines. These are often clustered together.

If you are seeing blood specs on your bed, the problem may be bed bugs, although some people will scratch a flea bite in their sleep and make it bleed.

Do you have pets? Have you checked them for fleas? Pets are one of the leading causes of flea problems for households. Another animal that will introduce fleas into your house is a mouse. If you have found a mouse sneaking in (or a rat) it may be bringing fleas.

Once you have identified a flea, you know what the problem is and can then look at treating it. Click here to see a picture of a flea if you do not already know what it looks like.
