Getting Rid of Invisible Biting Bugs

For the last few weeks, we have been bitten off and on. We notice the bites the most in the morning. And at night is when the bites are the most itchy. I haven't had bites this itchy before in my life. (They cause me to lose sleep.)

We thought it was bed bugs so we got rid of an old couch. (Upon further examination, we didn't find anything in the couch or the bed frame we threw away.) And put our mattress in a bag. However, we only found one bug that looked like a bed bug. We have looked everywhere else and we don't see evidence of it.

The first week, I went to my doctor since the bites were inflammed. She didn't know what it was and prescribed something for allergies. It made me itch worse so I stopped applying it. The only thing that has helped me is to ice the area or put some Sting Ease by Quantum on it.

My boyfriend just put some diatomaceous earth down tonight so we hope to see something get caught in it.

I'm starting to wonder if it might be a mold mite or something, but I don't know what a mold mite bite looks like. We also randomly feel itchy like a bug is on us, but we think we are just overreacting.

Another thing to note: A couple of weeks ago we just had a hole near the window sealed up in our bedroom. This is where we had a water leak in our room that started about a year and a half ago.

And currently, we are in our living room on air mattresses.

At night when I lay down I can't sleep because I keep getting bitten. I have tried everything; it's not bed bugs. I had an exterminator come already. It stopped for a couple of weeks and then started right back.

Okay this is the third time I've woken up to these itchy bumps with red/purple dots in them. They hurt when you push/scratch on them but itch like crazy. What should I be looking for?

Note: It's not bed bugs.

Every single time I come to my boyfriend's house I get bitten by something and I can't figure out what it is. He never gets bites, but I always do. These bites are extremely itchy, but some aren't itchy at all. I have gotten about 20 bites in less than a month. He has no pets and has never had pets before, we haven't seen any sign of anything, but every single night I get bit over and over again. Whenever I'm in bed I feel like something is crawling on me, but when I turn on my phone flashlight it turns out to be nothing there. I feel like I'm going crazy every night and morning.

Please help me.

I've been getting bites from a bug I don't see at all (along with my mom and sister) 3. It's mainly when sitting on my couch or outside in my backyard. It's not bed bugs because it's not while I sleep and it's only in one room or outside.

I live in California, Inland Empire area. I'm at a lost and very overwhelmed. Luckily my 1 year old isn't being bitten, but it's every week something is biting me. We do have dogs, but they are only outside and we treat them for fleas and ticks with the medicine that goes on their backs. We've checked them for fleas and flea eggs, but we can't find anything.

The bites start off looking like a hive. We've sprayed both outside and inside where we seem to be getting bitten (literally in the morning and that same night I had 2 new bites). If anyone has any ideas what it could be please let me know!

I am really depressed with invisible biting creatures in my home. A year ago we have bed bugs in our home. After several pest control treatments they are gone completely. Now something is biting our skin from beds, sofas, and from clothes. We did pest control treatment all over, but they are still not going away. Whatever they are is killed by high temperature hot water only, while bathing.

I had some work done in my bathroom and that's when it started. They've been eating me up the last couple of months. What am I supposed to do?

I keep getting bit by something I can't see, it feels like fiberglass. I have washed my clothes in hot water, but when I put them on I feel bugs crawling on me. I feel them on my couch, bed, and on the floor.

Okay, in a nutshell. I am getting bitten at least 3 to 5 times a night by something. We have searched for bed bugs and mosquitoes and no luck. We have found a few big gnats and caught them in the vinegar, but I'm getting bitten by ones I can't see. It's mainly at night and it's mainly me. My husband gets a couple here and there.

If I sleep with long sleeves and pants I don't get as many, but it's 98 degrees here in Texas at night. We poured bleach down the drains, vacuumed, and dusted. They seem to be mainly in our bedroom. Please tell me what these bites could be from and what to do about them.

My husband and I live in his company's semi because we lost our home through no fault of our own. So, this being the only place we have to go I'm desperate. We, mostly me, have been getting bitten, day and night, for nearly 6 months now. We have never seen anything.

We have checked for bedbugs and everything we can check for. We have fumigated numerous times, gone through sprays, powders (including diatomaceous earth), and traps. When it's cold in here they don't bite. But when we start to shiver we turn on the heat and start getting bit. We thought they were chiggers from the field we used to park next to and often walk across to get to our son's house. I read online that chiggers die at temps colder than 42, so we thought they would die when the truck was in the shop for a week and we were in a loaner. But we have it back and are getting bit again. We have put nearly everything we had in the truck in our car to kill them. We will see if it works, but then we will bring them back to the truck. I often just sit in back of the truck, while he's driving, and just cry while getting bit.

I need help from someone, somewhere. We have tried everything. I told our daughter. I spray and pray. That seems to be what I'm constantly doing. She's worried about all the chemicals I've been breathing for 6 months. I am too, but I don't know what else to do.

For a few months now I've been getting bites all over me at my boyfriend's house. They look like welts and one bite on my eye lid swelled up. They're extremely itchy and recently it feels like bugs are crawling and biting all over me, but I can't see any. I have been itchy head to toe all day for the past couple of days now.

He had bed bugs, but we got rid of them with DE and cleaning also getting rid of objects that were infested. So we're ruling out BB. I now think maybe he has a mite infestation. He cleaned a birds nest out of a bathroom vent. Could they be bird mites? I don't see any bugs crawling on me or around the bed. But do have bites on me every time I stay there and it's only at night. I eventually slept on the couch because being in his room was torture, but it seems like they followed me. Neither his children nor him are getting bites at all.

What do I do? If they are mites can I infest my home by carrying them on me?

I'm desperate for help because I don't know how much longer I can do this. When I moved into my current house in November of 2017 within 2 weeks I started feeling itchy and noticed small insects that nearly no one else has seen. I am so confused whether it's one bug in various cycles or several bugs.

The quick version is I got it treated for fleas and moths, but the guy who came first I believe had it spot on with his comment of, "lady you can try fumigation as the only option after pest control, but I don't think even that will work, the only thing that is going to fix this is a match lit" his words not mine. He came 3 times plus the house's owner got it treated, in total 5 times.

Since moving in till now, it's gotten extremely bad, but everyone thinks I'm crazy and even though no one knows me, I've had mental health on my doorstep because I'm imagining it all. I can only explain it to you in the way I understand. I have a mild brain injury and struggle with comprehending some things and am not able to find the words I need. So bare with me people.

I absolutely believe I've got moths, as I can smell dust, and everything is yellow in colour including my skin, my dogs and everything you see. I have had weird flies appear when the doors are locked, plus you can actually pick them up as they are very still. No flies I know that you can just pick up. I have tiny dots and things that people think are just bits of fluff, dirt, etc. They are in/on absolutely everything, no surface is safe, they are in the fridge, freezer, bed, shower, cups, and microwave.

They have a gritty feeling, like sand. They started on my head, face, and chest, and would be in those areas a few weeks then they would be in another area, but leave me terribly scarred. The pattern I've worked out will trigger something in you guys. I don't itch until I use any kind of product, ie. powder, cream, moisturizer, or makeup, absolutely anything. Then I get itchy and I get really hot.

They secrete a substance that makes me itchy only then. The substance is sort of oily, I don't bleed even though I've really scratched. I refer to some of them as"burrowers or anchors" because these ones are painful, can't be removed, and if you can get the sore off, it's back exactly the same. I have horrific scars, I've recognised pictures from the cans of bug sprays that look like moths, silverfish, bedbugs, millipedes, carpet beetles, but because every company has their own picture, I can't tell if they match.

They are also on my little dogs; they are all sick. I am extremely tired, nauseated, and off balance. They are definitely active at night. One weird symptom is my nose gets really cold and painful, my dogs also are affected at night. I feel them bite, and sting. They are without a doubt using my body along with my dogs and I'm so alone.

I trust no one now because I'm terrified of answering the door thinking it's mental health again. I can't find a doctor to listen to me, except one doctor sent the samples I took in to see if I am right about them looking like innocent items like fluff and the tests showed they were insects, but if I want to know what ones, it's going to cost me $150 OMG. So I finally had proof so I thought, that I am not crazy, plus a fumigation guy spent 2&1/2hours just looking at what I was talking about, expecting to be dismissed again as crazy, but he said everything I told him was spot on. He even had a look at the dog. He had this feature on his phone that worked as a magnifying glass and even though the friend who was here that day believed me, he said he didn't think it was as bad as I said. But once he was shown the spot on the wall was in fact a insect, so vivid, you could see the wings, veins, eyes, I just cried, finally had proof, but months later I'm sitting here hoping you guys can help me with anything, the infestation is going to kill me, I truly believe that.

I'll try to put some pictures up to help, but please bare with me as my phone is shit. I am happy to answer any questions, I've got a lot more I can tell you, but I'll not have enough space. If anyone is able to help in any way I would appreciate it. I know there is heaps more I've left out, so please anyone. It's nothing to do with being clean or dirty.

I've recently been getting small bites on my arms and my ankles. I checked my bed for bed bugs and found none, and I Hoovered out the mattress and sheets to make sure, but the bites are still coming. We don't have any pets and I only just recently dusted my room, it is the middle of summer, but only one window is open.

The bites look like little white dots and they're incredibly itchy, they turn red when itched. What insect is biting me and what can I do to help the itching? They're not loads of bites, only one on my ankle and about six on one arm and two on the other, so anyone got any answers?

Well a friend of mine is complaining about getting bitten and she doesn't see anything after she's bitten. There's always a mark left, but no bug. At first she thought it was bed bugs, then she did the proper steps of getting it inspected. They ruled out bed bugs, there's no signs. So she's wondering could it be fleas?

I have been struggling with what's seems to be a hopeless situation. They are black and other colored specks. Sores appear from nowhere. I feel things moving all over me, but have never actually seen any movement, until now.

We have some invisible biting bugs in our home and pickup truck. I don't know what they are because I can't see them. They tend to feel heavy and get on my arms near my wrist. Hot showers give relief from them.
