Flea Bites vs. Mosquito Bites

Posted by Mosquito Squad

February 8, 2024

Do mosquito bites itch more than flea bites? Do they look different?

There is a difference in the appearance of flea bites vs. mosquito bites. Depending on your body’s chemistry, either could be itchier than the other. However, those who do not have severe reactions or allergies to flea bites or mosquito bites might find flea bites to be the bigger hindrance. This is because flea bites, though smaller than mosquito bites, are often given in clusters. These tiny bites can altogether be a major nuisance.

How can I treat my flea bites or mosquito bites?

When it comes to treating the itchiness and discomfort caused by these bites, there are several natural remedies and over-the-counter (OTC) options available. Applying ice to the affected area can help reduce swelling and numb the itch. Aloe vera, known for its soothing properties, can also alleviate the irritation caused by bites. For those with more severe reactions, over-the-counter allergy and itch control medications may provide relief.

However, the best way to avoid the discomfort from mosquito and flea bites is to prevent them in the first place. Ensuring your living environment is unfriendly to these pests with professional help can significantly reduce your chances of being bitten.
