sure they aren't bedbugs? Sounds like their M.O... 70% although I use 91% Alcohol will kill them instantly... Another trick to determine if they are bedbugs is take some large lids and put the feet of your bed rails... feet of furniture then sprinkle with talc powder (it won't kill them) or even better DE because it will kill them... they will crawl into it trying to get to you to eat. It will also help to properly identify them for treatment... the DE will kill the bedbug by cutting it up and drying them out... you can also sprinkle DE into your carpet and kill most bugs, fleas, roaches, bedbugs, ants, etc. but I know for a fact that 91% rubbing alcohol will kill them on contact... if spraying the furniture, be sure to test a small area to see if it's gonna bleed the fabric or ruin it... if it does then mix with half to a qtr of water ratio. Good Luck...
Dust you floors with borax let set overnight . This will just about all bugs ,. I know that it will take care of fleas, ticks and cockroaches. You can buy a form at Wal-Mart in the pet supplies area that has a lavender scent.
Thank you for replying but already documented three times that it is not bedbugs. I have a micobacteria infection now and I know these are either bird mites or rodent mites. But thank you for answering. My cat was going crazy looking for something. Had to give my cats up after living with my niece looking for an apartment. But unfortunately I slipped and fell in her basement and broke my hip. It'seems long story these past three years. Also micobacteria does not affect everyone nor does microscopic mites.
Oh dear! I feel for you, I can only suggest you get in touch with your Local Authority Pest Control and ask for help, as I have no knowledge of your problem. Hope you get help soon......
Then it sounds like you may need an exterminator. One more question ? Have you seen the doctorabout the bites and itchiness? And do you have allergies to evergreens.? My niece was constantly being sent home with an itchy rash and treated for scabies. Next time we got the call, we found her playing with the dropped pine needles. Turns out each time they sent her home the kids were out playing under the pine tree. Dr.checked she is allergic.
I use 20 Mule Team Laundry Borax to 1) wash everything that can go in the washer with hot water and 1/2 c of borax. 2) put the borax in a glass jar and poke lots of holes in the lid, sprinkle on carpets, sofa, bed, wherever. Leave 3 hours and vacuum, You are going to have to get under furniture too cause they will hang there while your treating. Throw vacuum bag out immediately or empty canister into a bag and dump in trash. This will not hurt pets or you. 3) mop every surface that can be mopped.
Lastly I would set off a bug bomb. If your in an apartment, seal all the heat and air ducts with tape or clear contact paper. I would tilt the couch up on end, and put the cushions on the coffee table. Take bedding off, and turn bed up on end. Leave the apartment for the recommended time, and if you still have a bird... take it with you or put on deck. Come back, open windows and leave again.
I would also get bird mite treatment products and rent a carpet cleaner with an upholstry tool and do my rugs and upholstered pieces, bed next day. You are also going to do your closets too, and the clothes in them.
The last disabled lady I did with this, I had to do 68 loads of laundry, and take large pieces to the wash n fold laundry to be done. In addition to the above.
If this doesn't work, I would talk to the management and request an exterminator.
If your still recovering, have you talked to Senior & Disabled Services about getting a caregiver? Its not uncommon after a personal disaster/illness for things to get out of hand, and need help to get back on track. Good luck.
I would like to know how to get rid those pesty little sink/drain flies. I've tried baking soda and vinegar, drain cleaners and put plastic over the drains.
Home or just in the Kitchen?

I hope you get this matter settled soon, wishing you all the best.
Always a pleasure...........
Mites are insect pests not microbes. First for some personal relief get some of this natural insect spray, its wonderful, I'm allergic to dust mites and flea bites, and when I'm having an episode with cat, I spritz myself with this. Then next day I get busy cleaning everything. https://greenerways.com/collections/repellent-usda-organic-insect-repellents-and-bug-spray/products/usda-organic-natural-insect-repellent-and-bug-spray-for-anti-mosquitos-ticks-fly-repellent-4oz
