If you follow me on Facebook then you know that for the past almost month now I have been having issues with Lillee and I getting bit. Took her to the Dr. and they gave her cream but couldn't say for sure what the bites were from. So, I wigged out bc of the huge bedbug outbreak in New York and tore the house apart looking for them. I was convinced we were infested and I'd find a huge colony of yucky bugs living in our beds! Thankfully our search turned up nothing but we sprayed for them anyways.
The bites continued and one day while at the church getting Lillee up from her nap I saw a trail of ants by her play pen on the wall. I thought I had found the answer! We vacuumed and cleaned the carpets, sprayed the entry point and placed ant traps. Still, the bites continued to appear even though we seen no more ants.
At this point, I'm desperate! I have no idea what the bites are or where she is getting them from.
Today, I got her dressed and checked her body for new bites. Nothing. This made me feel like they definitely aren't bed big bites (yes, I was still worried even after spraying, I'm a bit of a psycho). So, we got in the van and headed to the church. We spent most of the day there then went grocery shopping and came home. She fell asleep in the van so when we got home Owen put her in her bed. When she got up I took of her sandals to find 4 bites in the side of one foot and 1 on her baby toe on the other foot!
So, now I've have a time frame to go by! The only places she spent a significant amount of time today was our home, the church and our van. The bugs have to be in one of these 3 places! Since the van is the smallest area I am going to clean it out completely. Vacuum it and then spray it with a water/vinegar solution they say will keep ants away. I'm going to use a marker to circle the bites she has to see if she gets any others.
If you have any other suggestions please let me know!
