Do you ever get the sense that something is biting you in the middle of the night? You may even wake up with bites or itchy spots. If you own a pet, your first thought may be that they have fleas, especially if they sleep on or near your bed at night.
If you’re confident your dog doesn’t have fleas, there are actually a few other possibilities to explore. It’s time to play detective in your home, and we have a few ways to help you solve the mystery.
Bed Bugs: These bugs are similar to flea bites, but they hide in mattresses, bed frames, and such. They only come out at night.

Mites: A variety of mites exist, but dust mites may be the most likely culprit, especially if there is a lot of dust in the room. A scabies mite is another possibility and can burrow into the skin and lay eggs.
