what the heck is biting us?

I started getting bit about 8 weeks ago. usually 2 to 3 bites at a time, or just one, sometimes close together, sometimes in various parts of my body. First it was just me for the first few weeks but now all 4 of us in my fam are getting bit, esp me and my little boy. We bombed with flea bombs twice. Then we thought it was bed bugs. We had 4 diff pest controls come and inspect, all 4 said we dont have them. But we still bought bed bug/water proof encasements for our mattresses box springs and pillows, the PCO treated our apt for bed bugs twice, and he was very very thorough, we covered the house in Diatamaceous Earth, we washed every stitch of clothing in our house and put them in air tight bags (which are currently being stored in my moms garage) we are living out of 2 trash bags worth of clothes. we put patrolleum jelly around the legs of the beds, we’v treated the car too, and steam cleaned the couch and the bed and all our chairs. We’v done every thing we can think of but we are still getting bit, and it recently started getting worse. They use to just bite my arms now im getting bit all over my face. IF ANY ONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP US. my poor son is losing his mind and so am i. its one thing for me to deal with it, but its heartbreaking when your 3 year old and 4mnth old have to deal with this too. please help us

They are all around the room I am staying in. MY suitcase and clothes were also in this room. I noticed that my feet and legs had been itchy since I got here, but I just contributed it to allergies which I often get. The bugs are very small. I wouldn’t have even noticed them if I hadn’t been examining the mattress for a hole. How do I get these bugs out of my clothes/suitcase/other belongings? I’m sure that they have probably infested them by now. I really don’t want to take them back home with me.

We thought we had them all gone, then. In our newly refurbished room, painted walls, nice new carpet, and a new air mattress, a creepy crawly bed bug was crawling upon a blanket.

Now I have the heebie jeebies, feeling like I’m being bit up, I’ve looked through my clothes, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a bug to be in my clothes right now. Plus I changed into clothes that weren’t in the affected room. Paranoia is kicking in.

However, this is not my concern right now. We went to a garden nursery, asking them if diatomaceous earth kills bed bugs, is it safe, etc. They all said yes. But we have amorphous diatomaceous earth, the same stuff they said is safe. Is is truly safe? It is amorphous diatomaceous earth in the form of fresh water?

We want to sleep in our air bed, but we are afraid of inhaling this dust.

What can we do? Can you guys help to tell if it safe? Thank you.

Being the kid that he is, he completely doused the air with it. We discovered I am severely allergic to it, and I had to literally leave the house through a window. I am not able to be in the majority of the house without having a relapse of a severe allergic reaction. The windows have been left open, the bedding/clothes have been washed, but it still remains. HELP!

Is there anything I can use to make sure the air stays crisp and/or put in drawers and use on bedding so clothes and towels/blankets dont feel damp?

I’m going camping on saturday and I won’t be back until Monday at around 11:00 Lunchtime.
My brother is staying home and he’s 19 but he won’t remember to take care of them and he works everyday 12:00 daytime until 12:00 midnight. I guess my other brothers will be home, Brandon and Jeremy and and Jeremy has a girlfriend named Jessica who lives with us and she LOVES gerbils but she works too and Jeremy works all day, same with Brandon. Jeremy and Jessica are still moving in though, they’re living downstairs and they have to move all of their clothes and their mattress and dresser and TV and fish tank, all that stuff. So I don’t know what I can do with them… My mom strictly said that I cannot bring my gerbils. She won’t change her mind, either. Any ideas?

I love pajamas! Just curious, what time of day (on a day you are just staying home) do you think one must be dressed in regular clothes by? What time is it not acceptable to be caught in your pajamas if someone came to the door? Alternatively, how early can one put pajamas back on and be acceptable. (Scenario: Someone stops over unannounced in the morning or in the evening…what times would you feel silly in your pajamas and what would be the latest, earliest times where you would feel justified in still or already having them on?)
