I 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 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 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?A pest exterminator company specialist will be able to help you to identify the bugs and decide on a plan to prevent them from coming into your house.
The same kind of bugs infested my home in about a month ago I too tried everything I decided to go with diatomaceous earth from the feed store powder the whole house with it every think these bugs love Electronics clothing bedding they will get everything it takes a few days for the powder to kill them but it works
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. 
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 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 had them too , I tried everything bleach, vinegar , bug bombs, raid, alcohol you name it. every time I go to cook they were flying around the kitchen, dinning room drove me crazy. My house is pretty clean, I cleaned out the drains everyday used vinegar baking powder you name it.
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!

I've heard bed bugs are a huge problem in NY right now, sounds like you have 'em. Sorry.
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!
None of these. They are bed bugs in the picture
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?
What is this white lint ball or fuzz ball biting me and leaves dark splinter looking thing in my skin that gets bigger or longer causing pain and itching. They are ruining my life and my ability to function properly.
Please help, thank you.
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.
What bugs, when you kill them, have blood come out of them?
I work in a factory that has a shaft running under our work desk. The factory has been many different things in the past including a modular home factory. The people in this little office keep getting bitten by something and it makes us itch and leaves little red marks and when you scratch they turn into welts.
Now just recently one of the girls that sits next to me said she seen one land on her and it was green. These are so tiny I don't see them. I have marks on my neck and my arm is just horrible. They bite your legs. We don't know what it is, but it's not in our hair. Can somebody help?I am trying to identify a tiny bug. It's a clear bug with a tiny tiny black spot on its back and when you kill them it pops. You can hear it pop an it is full of blood? It's biting the hell out of the old man and he says they are under his skin.
He works out doors doing lawn care and handy man services and he does construction. What could this be and how can I help him get rid of the ones under his skin and from in or around our home?
