I can honestly say I know your pain. . . too well. I've been dealing with this for about two years, though it is not so bad these days.

Things that have really helped me:

Kleen Free Enzymes from Natural Genesis - only one I tried, but once it helped, didn't want to spend money on something that might not work.

Got rid of them for 8 months last year by spraying Diazonin on all baseboards, and leaving for up North for two weeks on vacation - also sprinkling all floorw with Acarosan (used for Dust Mites but worked well for "crawlies".

And really good:(and cheap) buy lotion with Hemp in it (sells at Wal Mart) - lather yourself with it before bed, helps A LOT. For some reason crawlies don't like it.

Also, buy (also cheap) Bug Stop bug spray. For some reason it didn't work before, but someone with a lot of knowledge on this reported that it had changed, and I am telling you, it really makes a difference for me when I use it (spray windows inside and out every three days).

I have two children in diapers, and they were getting bitten in the diaper area (moist, dark). Baby powder in their diapers cured the bites for them. They get almost no bites at all now.

Good Luck!
