Flea bites vs. bed bug bites

What's the difference between fleas and bed bugs? The two tiny, wingless, blood-sucking insects have many similarities, but one key difference is that bed bugs prefer humans, while fleas prefer pets. Even indoor cats can get fleas, so if your cat starts scratching excessively, it’s a good idea to check for fleas and start using a preventive like Advantage® II.
