Brief Answer:
Get a dermatologists, let them use chemicals

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

i read your question and i understand your concern. XXXXXXX i believe if that much trouble is there , you should go for complete house cleaning by chemical methods they offered. They have already ruled out bed bugs. If they consider the house and has offered to clean it, there must be some flea biting behind it.

there are many sprays available over the market but none of them works enough to get rid of the trouble.

But before rushing into things, i would want you to seek a dermatologist and let them have a look at these bite marks and correlate what it is. it might be a simple urticaria confused with a bite or a wheal or flare or any other hypersensitivity of the skin. Many medications can cause that too.

Nutshell, get a dermatological assessment and let them use chemical on you house. I am sure it will helps.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

May the odds be ever in your favour.
