Identifying Tiny Black Biting Bugs?

What kind of bug do I have that looks like specks of black lint? I find them on my bed and you can not tell if they are bugs they are so small and they are not moving. They bite. I can feel them on me, in my hair, on my face, and on my arms and legs, but I can't see them. What are they and how do I get rid of them? I had fleas so I had my house sprayed. I sprayed and bombed five or six times, but nothing helps. I still have these bugs. I hope someone can help, they are eating me alive. The people that sprayed came back after they got rid of the fleas and said they did not see anything. They even checked for bedbugs.

Could be bedbugs. For all bugs, garden grade, not pool grade, diatomaceous earth. Safe for humans and animals, just don't inhale it. Cattlemen feed it to their livestock for internal parasites. I sprinkle it in our dogs food and sometimes dust them with it. Make an easy duster with an empty plastic water bottle. Dry it well and punch holes in the cap. Funny, I put one in the drainer to dry and when I went back to get it, it wasn't there. I asked my daughter, saying I had the cap in my pocket and she thought I said I have a cat in my pocket. Now, I tell her I have a cat in my pocket and I know how to use it. You can tell we are both nuts!

I just found them 2 nights ago. I have been getting bit when I set on my bed day or night and so II finally decided to check my sheets out and out with a magnifying glass and beer glasses on and that's when I seen them they look like a bed bug but they were just specks and maybe too small to be a bit but I don't know. When I Googled it it come up mites so I did some more investigation and the bites I have on me they say scabie mites so I've been spraying I'm trying to see if I can't get rid of them and treat my dog.

I have been getting bug bites and so two nights ago I decided to check out my bed and I watch these old specs they were going into my sheets so I got a magnifying glass with reading glasses and I could see him they were like a little bed bug but they were too I think they're too little to be bed bugs so I Googled it and it come up mites and that's what they are. Then I have seen about 10 spider mites after they get big someone other than little bugs don't turn into those I don't know. Google mites and go through all of them and see what you think hope it helps

Scabies live under the skin on humans and animals. You will need to get it checked by a doctor and vet and treat everyone affected - scabies is highly contagious-can be caught from animals but dont assume it is their fault it can be given to animals by humans - it can be caught taking change in a shop or by children at school. Scabies needs to be treated properly and religiously or they will come back.

General fleas bugs etc . Wash all cloths, sheets towels at 60c+ and use food grade dermantoide earth (check a a well known site begining with e uf you need supplies) sprinlke all over the house until you can see tbe layer of dust . Put it under furniture etc and leave it as long as you can. A few days is good.

Animals get them treated by Advocat bought from a vet (ones bought on line can be fake)

I get those too! I was always told they were weed fleas. They are the devil to get rid of . Usually need professional treatment of home and yard especially if you have animals in the house.`

It could be bed bugs or scabies mites. If you take a picture of your bugs, you can submit a question on ThriftyFun and maybe someone can identify it.

Contact your county pest management department for their help. Better if you can provide a sample-unsquashed (!!!), much the better. Find a few and collect them carefully on a piece of cellophane tape. Bring them in an envelope to the county.

Good Luck!

They r bird mites and they look like salt . After they start feeding they turn different color, black, and red and other collrs. Then they start to look like glitter. Mule will see glitter like one or two on your face , arms , and clothes. Most of the time you can see the glitter on your skin in the light, sunlight especially, if you look at something and see a glitter it the bug that you think you don't see.

Once your house is infested, forget it. You have to move. You can bomb it all u want it will only calm them for a while. And they sTay in your clothes, furniture and car. You can wash them all you wont, they just won't die. You have to change your clothing, bedding and get rid of that car biz they are just going to continue to bred

I've been dealing with this bug for years and couldn't believe that you mentioned the word "glitter" I'm completely freaked out. Short of wanting to pull my hair out and shake a doctor so they will listen to me. I can't get any help with them. Now my eye sight is rapidly deteriorating and the docs can only find what they call a strange film that covers all the tear ducts on the upper and lower inner eyelids. My mucus membrane in my nose has this same covering but thicker. They have infested my makeup and they are also inside my mouth. What I can't figure out is why some people are aware of their presence and why others are not.

This makes it very difficult to get help. My poor cats one of which is starting to suffer from these bugs. What's even more disturbing is I've watched a normal house fly get attacked by these bugs and die. As well as other insects. I'm very concerned that these bugs are much more than just a nuisance that they are slowly killing me and one of my children as we both have autoimmune disorders.
Please I very much would welcome any suggestions. We reside in South Central Texas.
Recently I've noticed that it is spreading to some of the neighboring residents.

Ivermectin

Buy ivermectin paste for horses. I know it sounds crazy but it works. I had the same issue. You can get a prescription from a doctor. Or you can order ivermectin for horses online.

Either way you have to get ivermectin in your system and everyone that's in your home.

I have tried Terminix I have tried bug fogged I have tried cinnamon oil and 91 percent alcohol
I have sprayed the strongest bug poisons all over the house
I have bleached my plastic sheets every morning and night
I have tried borax and the hottest water in laundry and hottest dryer to rid us of bugs
Nothing so far has worked

I haven't seen these bugs, but they bite me at different spots on my body. Are they hopping around or is there lots of them? I haven't heard any of my other family members complaining, but they have like a small sting.

I have been experiencing the same problem and through all the research I've done, I believe they are a spices of beetle. There are several types of spray insecticides that are available that will kill them and can be purchased through Amazon. Com

It is most likely some kind of mold spores, which are invisible, feel like bugs crawling & biting, & often leave mosquito looking bites or cluster of bites on you, especially at night. Certain people attract them more than others, especially after the spores have taken root inside your body & it's organs. Some strains of these molds, especially certain types of black molds, will embed in your clothing, follow you home & then explode in population, taking over your home. Many have went crazy to the point of suicide trying to get rid of these things & there are many websites & blogs dedicated to this topic.

Very few medical doctors in the U.S. have ever learned about or even heard of this (most will not consider it as the cause), & it often ends up being misdiagnosed as psychosis, as the doctors can not see the culprit & are often too close minded to consider learning something new that's not written in a medical journal.

Boric Acid! Every dam thing! dus all of your clothes especially all of the seams!!
They live there 100% I discovered accidentally getting my daughter ready for school! Wash in COLD water and place everything in airtight containers dusting all of the clothes with BA and sprinkle moth balls inside. Wait 2 weeks before you use and wash. Make sure you put moth balls on the side of the bed you don't use.Undersheets or in matress bag for 2 weeks your sheets will get yellow spots I think those are the eggs left behind. Those are dead!
