Something is biting me and/or members of my family. What can I do? |

First of all, the insect that is biting you should be located and given to your pest management professional (PMP) for identification.
There are different protocols for treatment depending on a proper insect identification. Possible insects that may be biting you are:
- Fleas - check your pets to make sure they do not have fleas crawling on them.
- Mosquitoes - these are primarily found outdoors, but may fly inside while doors or windows are open.
- Chinch bugs - these insects are located in turf.
- Ants - ants can be found inside or outside.
- Another possibility is that your skin may be drying out because of the weather. When this occurs, it often feels like tiny pricks, or that an insect is biting you.
