Signs of Fleas in Your Bed
There are thousands of fleas species. The most common types are dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis) [2] and cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) [3]. Either kind will bite dogs, cats, rabbits, and other furry mammals. If they have access, they may also bite birds.
Fleas also bite people, though they won’t stay on you for long. This is because they prefer to nestle in fur or feathers, rather than skin or hair. Fleas like to live on a blood host. They won’t take up residence in your bed, but they will leave evidence that they’ve been there.
