Biting Insect Indoors

I agree with Shosha. You definitely have dust mites, but they are not causing your problem. I can't imagine what it might be if it is too small to see. I think you need to look more closely so that you can find out what it really is.

I can pretty much guarantee you have dust mites. Everyone does, even if they don't think so. However, they don't bite people. They eat the bits of skin and such left in the carpets, upholstery and bedding etc. I would check more for fleas and bedbugs, or another kind of mite. but most bugs leave some kind of mark when they bite. I'd also check into the possibility of having allergies to something.

What can you do to kill off indoor biting pests? I can't identify the bugger. I don't want to spray the house with raid. I have a cat and I don't want to make her sick. I have read about diatomaceous earth working well. What brand and how do I use it?

My family and I recently bought a new mobile home. Since we moved in my wife and I, and our little girl get eaten up with bites.
