Getting Rid of Biting Bugs?

I have flea bombed my house and also have bombed my house with bed bug bombs. I am running out of ideas. My family and I are getting bitten, one here and there. Does anybody know what it is and what I can do to stop this?

Food grade diatomaceous earth, which can be purchased at Home Depot will solve your problem.

Use a paint brush to "paint" the powder along baseboards and on the legs of your bed.

Bugs can't build up a resistance since the powder dries up their exoskeletons.

Very safe to use around pets

Bed bug bombs are the last thing you want to use. The bombs run them up into the walls. Plus they arent effective, the spray just makes a huge mess all over everything and doesnt get to where theyre harboring at. Cimexa and Delta Dust are more effective than DE for bed bugs and they kill them a lot faster. You just want a light dusting, if you can see it l, theres too much. They wont cross it if they can see it. Crossfire and Temprid FX would be a better choice for treating for bed bugs.

I think that you should try to figure out what kind of bug it is - fleas, or bed bugs, or something else. Indiscriminate spraying of pesticides is one of the reasons why we have bedbugs nowadays. You may be getting reinfected over and over as well, or may be spraying pesticides all over the house, and not targeting the insect that is actually doing the biting.

Anything that will poison an insect will also poison a human, so be aware that you are inhaling poison as well as the bugs inhaling it.

Something that really helps kill them is Kleen green. It is a safe spray you can get online. It works!!
