Mystery Bug Bites: Medical Evaluation Before Pest Treatment

Unseen biting sensations should be investigated by a dermatologist first—not a pest control operator. They can examine skin reactions, capture specimens if present, and identify non-insect causes (which are common). Bird or rat mites are possible, but many "bite" sensations stem from skin conditions, medication reactions, or environmental irritants.

Crucial warning: DO NOT spray insecticides without confirmed insect identification. Over-application of insecticides can actually CAUSE the sensation of being bitten. Visit my "Unseen Biting Bugs" resource page for more guidance.
