How can u tell the difference between flea bites, mosquito bites or bed bugs?

I feel like I'm getting bitten around my ankles lately and I don't have any pets so don't think it's fleas. And I can usually tell a mosquito bit cuz it starts out swollen and turns into a raised bump. These are tiny little bumps that itch. Any ideas besides "cooties"?

Bites around the ankles usually indicates fleas. Do you have any friends with pets, or do you spend a lot of time outside? It only takes a few of the pests to lay eggs in your carpets to start an infestation. Also they could have been there before you moved in.
Get a good spray from the local pet store, and spray your carpets and curtains, and any cracks in the floors where dirt/duct collects. This should take care of the little buggers within a week or so, and you may have to spray again in about 7 months.
Failing that (if you can afford it) call in the professionals.
