I went through a terrible time trying to figure out what was biting me and they bite at night! It was a tropical rat mite diagnosed by the University of Florida. This mite needs to be killed on the animal who is the carrier. I can tell you it reproduces from a larvae, every 7 days so getting treatment for the animal is key my vet gave me drops for the hamster to take weekly this took over 6 months! I wll never buy another small animal before having a vet check. Do you own a hamster? or other small animal?
