Invisible biting bug

Asked Oct 19, 2010, 06:05 PM — 11 Answers
Its true... After delivering a bed to a filthy customers house then moving my own furniture in the same truck I became infested. It has been several years since. I ignored the issue. These dam things jump fly crawl and bite. I feel them all the time anywhere I am. I've hugged people then watched them scratch their eyes. Its happened a bunch of times therfor knowing they jump or fly. I've had company and watched them scratch at their eyes hands arms face, anywhere. I'm so embaressed now its ridiculous. It is very dificult to see these things. Every once in a while if the light is right or if you just catch it at the right time ill see a tiny pin point sized white bug. I feel them biting me at night. I feel them biting at my leg right now. You can look at a spot that's getting bit and you can't even see it.I'm so fed up I don't know what to do. I'm so embarresed cause people that feel things jump off me avoid me. They know something's on me. I am starting to believe that pestilence in the end is the answer.

Gonebuggy, I don't know if you have read this stickie, but it is a place to start: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pest-co...ee-390570.html

You can also do a search of older 'invisible biting insect' threads to get other ideas and ways to treat them.

Gonebuggy, I am experiencing some problems with similar. Still searching out answers but I would start with searching out "Pepper Mites" and see if this fits your situation. At least it would give some temporary answers until I get this final. I am very close!

I do not know why you found my question not helpful. It's fine that you do not agree but that doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to take away from my rep for it. To me that was "uncalled for" but you see I'm not damaging your profile. This problem is common among meth users. The process of elimination has to start somewhere. My question was legitimate.

I apologize if I misjudged your response. I honestly thought you were being cruel. And I guess I would have to ask you if you honestly think someone would admit that in writing?

It would not be the smartest thing for them to do, would you think?

I've been clean n sober for over 20 yrs. These bugs are clear to white as they grow you will see them mostly around moist areas. They look like tiny black dots. You know they're bugs because if you disturb them they hop. I am rid of them now and it is possible for you to get rid of them too. Here's what I did. I steam cleaned my carpets. Three times each room the first time then only as often as needed. I crushed a bunch of mothballs into the carpet especially around my bed and sofa. I put moth crystals into my bed when I wasn't using it. For spot treatment as soon as I felt any bites I sprayed Ecosmart weed and grass killer, Safe on your body. I also sprayed it into my bed and on the sofa regularly. For my body I ordered Dr. Bronners peppermint soap and sulfer soap called azufre. I bathed, showered and shampooed with these. When I got out I used Gold Bond maximum strength (blue bottle) powder all over my body and in my socks and in my shoes. I would also use Bounce orange scented fabric softener in the dryer and I would use packing tape and wrap them around my feet day and night and covered them with socks n gold bond. I steam ironed my clothes prior to wearing them, kept them in separate ziplock storage bags with mothballs and I would replace my clothes and bedding about every three months, so don't buy too many and buy cheap bedding, towels etc. For my truck I used flea busters and crushed mothballs all over everything material. It was snowing at the time and I stayed out of it for a month. I think that's everything. God bless and I hope this helps.

I have tried something that I am believing to feel a since of improvement. First and foremost...allow my disclaimer! I am NOT a professional on bugs and pestilence. This is something that when all else has failed in "SEVERAL" scenarios of invasion (from palmetto bugs to moisture ants) has stopped the nightmare. Our poison of choice is "BORIC ACID". Please Please Please research first for yourself and know all the ins and outs of it.
We have swept it in the carpets and I am now having to try to drive these little white bugs from my upholstery to the carpets to get it on them. It takes a little time but I have truly noticed a difference. Note, I do wash every day all bedding that my animals sleep on and their pillows go through the dryer for as long as I can. I bought 2 relatively inexpensive bedspreads (identical) and pull it everyday and wash it.
Also, I have found a product that I use on my animals (please do it on a fine tooth flea comb or cotton swab) that when these "thingies" attach themselves in numbers or even are alone, makes them weak and come off. I say use comb or cotton because they bite like chiggers and all at once and it hurts! I KNOW first hand. The product is Natural Chemistry De Flea. There is more than one type. I use the one for pets and bedding that you can use for dogs and cats. I use this also on my upholstery and beds. The Boric Acid I use on areas in upholstery that does not come into contact with my pets or family.
We called around to the "Do it yourself" type stores and bought 5 gallons of it.
I pray this works for you guys too!

PS: When using Boric Acid remember it is a powder. Use a face mask and I personally use gloves with everything when I am cleaning and pulling laundry and such to rid these things. If they bunch up on the little..um privates of your animal, that is when you need to use the cotton squares with De Flea on it. Also, I forgot...Harco Laboratories has a product that I use for bites. It is Natural Groomers Tea Tree Oil Medicated Spray. I use it too. If you ever had a RX for sores you might read ingredients and note that tea tree is part of it. This item I call Harco Labs to ship to me (they are in Texas). The DeFlea is at Pet Supermarket and I believe Petsmart. If you have a Pet Supplies Plus store they carry it.
