Brief Answer:
It could be delusional parasitosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
If the pest control people are not able to identify anything I think we need to explore possibility of delusional parasitosis.
It is a condition which often occurs in elderly individuals . Among the elderly females and socially isolated individuals are more often affected.
The symptoms include feeling of insect manifestation although there are no insects.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more concerns.
Thanks and regards.
