I have a mite or bug infesting my home and biting me. This mite, I will call it that because it is very small, hides in clothes and bedding. I have tried all the sprays bombs and poisons, to no avail. I have boiled frozen and ironed. Trying to get a sample of these things is impossible, I end up with things that look like bits of grass and, small pieces of fluff. I have noticed others mention these things, one on your site. Is there any help for us yet?

Where do you live? Do you have any pets, or did anyone in your home? Do you rent or own?

I'll use your term for convenience in lieu of accuracy.

If you have not seen these "mites," have you considered other factors? Fungi, plant residue, allergies, dry skin, and even static electricity can feel like bites.

If you have seen them, collecting a sample should be fairly straightforward. Cellophane tape used like a lint catcher should get you at least one or two. (Making a tape lint catcher: wrap tape around your hand with the sticky side out, then slide it down to fingertips for use.)
