If at night the bugs were back in 2 hours or so. We have washed and washed and washed clothes,etc. My son gets bitten even in the hole in his rear gets bitten on his legs, etc. I usually have most of my trouble on my head; however , last night I wore some really warm pants for a few hours in bed and they started to bite me there. We have bombed and bombed and bombed the place with aersol bombs.
Brief Answer:
I will recommend you call on the pest controllers to handle this!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty that you have been having with these pests. I must admit you have done a lot already and more efforts to control this will need the intervention of specialist. I will suggest that you call the pest control service of your area for proper investigations and control. This will be the best way ahead.
For the time being, I will suggest that you go ahead and change all the beddings every night before going to sleep. This way, you will have a short term fix and hope the pest controllers will address the long term aspect.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask more information and clarifications if need be.
