: My kids think I'm nuts. Here is what I have. Little "things" either black or white. They aren't really bugs. But they itch. I never really see them move. I clean them up all the time. When I firsat moved in over 18 mos ago I did notice a couple dead moths. But have never seen live ones since. I have bombed and sprayed repeatedly for evertything. I find them all over. I sear they attack me, they are in my clothes, car and office even. I will spit them out. I find them under my nails, and toe nails. I have hardwood floors, so I come home everyday and sweep them up. The land lord opf course doesn't see anything. The prior tennenats upstairs wre pigs and he does admit there was a flea infestation. I have cats and do the advantage thing regulary and these do not lookl like fleas. This is taking over my life. It is ruining my clothes. My nails are hardened and yucky,they are in my car and they itch. I am not nuts. Sometimes when I clean them I swear they end up in my mouth and I throw them up. If anyone knows anything I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Hi I have been bit by an unseen bug , simalr to like you explain . Many many people have beat these bugs.
There are many at yahoo birdmite forum they discuss their cures constantly and have many good ideas & cures , it is all free , just like this forum . Many at that forum speak of the specks fritolay, a member spoke of them this am . Many are cured, many are the only ones that get bit,while the rest of the family is fine. The is my case also.
this is my approach to killing the unseen biting bug
Spray Dawn dishsoap in a garden sprayer 1 cup dawn 4 cups water on everything , let sit 1-3 days the wet vac up
For the skin , the spray a lot of epsom salts 1 cup epsom & 2 cups water on the skin , let dry to a powder . Leave the powder on it will stop the crawling ins 2 days.
Also spray the house ceilng to floor with dawn , let dry , they spray with epsom 1 cup to 1 half gallon of water, mop the fllrs daly with borax and a bib microfiber mop. The car gas it with a 5 lb tank of C02 (from welding shop ) with the windos closed , repeat all theis every 5 days till gone
Co2 will suffocate the bug for sure , the eggs will hatch is 3 - 5 days , do it again on the 5th day. It wotks great. A human cannot even sniff C02 in a concentrated area, it causes kidney failure.
Then I mist the car with epsom or windex very well
Cedarcide works well they say I haven't tried it yet.
The forum has many people tehre all the time , if you read the old posts you will learn all the tips thet work.
God bless you,
Bill

ps :
also for fleas , I think borax will kill anything even specks or what ever they are.. ...monsters , mine don't speck but they sure bite and crawl. I kill all of them.
Hi Had a friend in florida with fleas in a hotel for 1 year , bombs ,bleach .revolution , nothing worked for more than 2 weeks and they were right back , her vet said sprinke dry borax all over everything 1/4 inch thick , and leave it for 5 days then vac it up , presto ...never anothe flea , it has been 6 months ..
Borax is 2.98 for 4 lb box at all major super markets, it is ususally on the top shelf . It also make your clothes smell like spring, no mater how many days you forgot them stuck to the sides of the washer..amazing stuff, For ants 1/8 teaspn borax & 1 teaspn honey m mix and feed to any ant you can find , let them all come eat , supply another teaspn then and in 3 days your won't see another ant for 1-3 years.. Amazing ...
There tips and more many came from
