Have not found any bugs dead or alive, no castings, no nothing since we found the initial castings since July 19.
We had PCO treat for fleas cause we didn't have castings anymore. Treatment was twice in 21 days. We also washed EVERYTHING, cooked everything, DE's all baseboards, carpet edges, cracks, wall plates, as well as spraying a bedbug killing spray (husband got it from Lowes) under all chairs, couches, so forth.

SO, here I am still itching! I'm wondering if we got them early on and they are finished and I am itching due to something else.(WHAT?) I also put a white sheet on the chairs and sofa to find anything that I might be missing by them coming out to eat me.
Thing is, I am a night owl and the time I itch most is like 2 - 4 am while I am doing online research!!!!! I find myself engrossed in something and scratching, scratching, and then I realize what I am doing and start the hunt. NO BUGS. I can't find any bugs!!
Is it the DE? Is it the poison? Is it in my head??? It is driving me CRAZY !!!!!!!!!

DE can be a skin irritant.

Do you have bites or just itching?

don't know for sure!
If I do have bites, it is the small ones from baby bugs. I do have little bumps, but don't know if it just a normal skin thing that I didn't notice before and now that I am itching everywhere it seems I have found them and am suspect of just a normal skin bump. If there were little bugs coming out biting me, couldn't I see them??? Wouldn't I find at least castings?

Sleepstnadingup, i'm in your same boat. I've found NOTHING and i keep getting bitten by something (though the bites look and feel nothing like a bedbug bite). I don't know what it is either...but its starting to piss me off!

I may still have some, but I do get crazy rashes now..Sometimes I think they're baby bedbug bites, sometimes I think it's from chemicals and other times I think it's from itchy clothing. All the showers bites and my skin being super dry makes me itch

You're not alone. I've had classic bed bug bites for a year. I have never seen a bug, a cast skin, eggs or waste. There is an occassional blood smear on the sheet. Multiple and various treatments haven't worked for me.

I would GOOGLE scavies or what people also refer to as scabies and biting mites See if these conditions describe what you are experiencing. These problems are microscopic and can be an embedded skin problem requiring more than topical cleansing. If appears to be the problem you might want to consider a parasitic cleanse which would include Black Walnut Extract.
