Identifying Little Biting Bugs

September 14, 2013

Identifying Little Biting BugsI have tons of these little, biting, flying insects that have infested my home so much that I hate coming back to my house. I don't know whether they are gnats or midges or what but, they are biting and annoying me so badly. They even like to fly in your ear, up your nose, in your eyes, and in your clothing while on you.

I think I have brought them in from my job because that is where the biting started. I work at a manufacturing plant around a lot of oil, solvents, etc. They like to fly around anything that is dirty or filthy. Can someone please help on a suggestion on how to kill and get rid of them?

I have never seen flies or gnats that were ever interested in oil or solvents. They like decaying matter, garbage, and such stuff. If your home is so infested, I think it is time for you to resort to tried and true chemical warfare. Buy some Raid. If the infestation is as horrible as you say, this is not the time to try essential oils and apple cider vinegar. Buy something that works to kill flying insects.

I have been trying to figure this out for 5 years and yes I have heard just about everything from "fibers to molds and fungus and aliens to mites" At this point I have a good idea what my little friends are but there are some things that still make me wonder. like the little specks of fiber balls that hair like tentacles going out in different directions like a web growing on some shirts and stuff. A collection of black threads.

 

Spent a lot of money too because greed makes some people do some bad things. I've learned to live with my sores and itches and all the other discomfort that comes with these invaders more and more of us are getting. Vinegar and alcohol and spray it on whatever. I have lots of pics if want to see them. I thought maybe there might be something new. My story is just like yours. Do you get called crazy or too many drugs? Have any friends left? Good luck and fight the good fight.

These new photos look like head or body lice. And the old photo of the web-like structure could be the lice "cocoons". If you need to, find a different dermatologist, until this problem is resolved...you should not have to live with this problem !!!!!!

I live in Tennessee and I have read a thousand posts and I am still so unsure of what I have. There are tiny black bugs that very faintly look like they have or might have a brown head. They bite and it will leave a welt. They are so small, like the size of a pin head, it looks like a strawberry seed or something.

I considered bed bugs, but have looked over mattresses, carpet, etc. and never see anything. These bugs don't look anything like the bed bug pictures I have seen. What are these little pests and how do I get rid of them?

I have been so very desperate, for the last 5 plus years. I have had black bugs all over the floor and I would get bitten. I read one of your letters and a woman said she used hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. I too, have spent thousands of dollars and nothing worked. I keep a pretty clean house, so I'm baffled.

As of Friday I had a broken screen. I have some type of white, biting bug and I'm going crazy. Black bugs are bad enough, but these white floating, whatever they are, are truly eating me alive. In the past I've contacted pest control, tried do it yourself solutions, but nothing works. Not even the hydrogen peroxide in the spray bottle helps. Please help me.

I used to have annoying little black bugs which I found were breading in the kitchen sink hole.
I have wiped all surfaces of the house and sprayed lemongrass essential oil all over the house and they have magically gone.

I have started to notice bite marks on me that are itchy. Then I started noticing more so I looked on my bed to see if I saw any bed bugs, but nothing. So I thought maybe fleas, but I also don't see anything. One day I found a bug on me that was really tiny and red. When I squished it, it had an unpleasant odor. Every time I feel a pinch and I pass my hand over where I felt it I smell the odor. Then it gets itchy followed by a little lump that looks like a mosquito bite.

So what kind of bug could it be?

Go to the doctors, or the pharmacy for some advice. I don't know what it is but it doesn't sound very nice and may give you a nasty illness. Use Tea Tree oil on the bites that helps everything!

Are you seeing these bugs inside, or outside? Tiny red bugs sound like chiggers to me, we have them really bad here in Oklahoma. They get on you outside. Their bite doesn't usually itch right away, but when it kicks in, it's miserable!

I've been getting bitten these past few days on my feet and lower legs. I found a few of these bugs on my bed crawling. I have about 6 bites on my feet and ankles. They are small itchy and red.

I washed my sheets and found some more on the top and sides of the mattress. I also found them on the bed frame. Are these bed bugs? What do I do?Identifying Biting Bugs on Bed

I found them only in my baby's nursery, in a trap I set. We were having bites for months and I'm trying to figure out the cause so I can eliminate them.

They are very small. Thanks in advance.
