My dog and my cats have fleas, and I'm getting bites, is there an infestation?
Both my Border Collie dog and my 2 cats are getting fleas, we noticed from the immense itching. I also started getting many bug bites (I counted around 20 or more) like mosquito bites, but not like ants.
So I was wondering, do the fleas also bite people? If so, how do I get rid of them?
I've been using Raid spray in my room and kept my pets out to make sure they don't get sick, and the bites have decreased, but they still occur, I also washed my bedding.

Fleas are parasites of mammals and birds. Fleas live by consuming blood or hematophagy, from their hosts.
So they can bite.
To avoid their biting first of all control their origin.
In your case their origin is your pets. So first of all control fleas infestation in them.
To control, the most effective drug used now a days is frontline for dogs and bravecto. These are available in solution form for topical use.
Also wash their bedding.
Although Raid is an insecticide but that is not useful for this situation.
