Answer by pearl
Bedbugs are a tiny bit larger, and they hide in crevasses of the mattress during day time, they leave blood marks on the mattress and sheets, Fleas are active all the time and can be found in the carpet, all over. Bedbugs hang where people are known to either sit or sleep for long periods.The best way to get rid of bedbugs is extreme heat.

Fleas jump & are usually low to the ground. They normally bite the feet & ankles unless you’re sitting on the floor.
Bedbugs live in mattresses & cushions & the heat of our bodies laying on them cause them to come out & have a feast of our blood.
usually you don’t see bedbugs just their bite which comes in 3 close togeather red marks . they hide during the day [behind pictures on the wall ,in the bed frame, etc.] but not in the bedding. fleas don’t hide -they jump right on you.fleas are attracted to white .
Does it really matter which they are? Either way….Mattress Spray by Norwex!
