house has been compromised by some very small bug . feels like ants crawling on you in the morning. what is it

have tried flea powder,vaccumeing, steam cleaning,threw out mass furniture,no luck.had best results with steam cleaning but theyre back just the same, out of ideas other than moving out.have not seen this bug to identify it. that would be the best,but i think it is too small to see and no visible bites, but can feel small pinches under arms , back of ears, groin,face,it realy sucks to be me right now.

    Sounds like mites...hard to get rid of.....wash all of your bedclothes in hot water and dry in as hot as possible dryer...all clothes, drapes. Your steam cleaning worked awhile because you killed 'em but their eggs hatched. Do iot again (and do EVERTHING! furniture, carpets and especially your mattress- pay close attention to folds and edges!-and check WEB for hatching cycle (most are seven days...then do it again! You will carry them with you if you move.

    Are you the only one feeling this? or is there someone else in the house with the same symptoms? sounds like parathesias, diabetes,MS ,tmj can all have effects on the nerves that feel like bugs crawling on you,or like pin pricks or bites. I know this from experience. If you are the only one feeling it?......

    they could be bed bugs, or body lice...they are horrid and your skin crawls...my son had it and we just got some quell and he had to shower with the stuff...or ask the pharmacist whats good and you have to clean your bed, sheets, pillows, blankets....wash the mattress outside with a damp cloth with some cold water and bleach...let the mattress dry in the sun...hey I dont' mean soak you mattress...the sun will finish the job...

    does it save you conscious at night too? I wager you're laid low with under pressure leg syndrome. that's a illness wherein you experience under pressure and you experience like there are crawlings. Like the type you defined it. i'm uncertain yet they are passing this to advertisements I observed on television. flow on your scientific expert. there's a treatment for this

    have you tried bug bombs they take a lot of work though you need to wash all of your dishes afterwards maybe you could call an exteminator too they might be able to identify it for you

    the last time we bombed our house we got them out of the drfoster&smith catalog or drfoster&smith.com

    the bombs brand was Adams
